National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization founded in 1909 in the United States. Its primary mission is to eliminate racial discrimination and ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all individuals, particularly African Americans. The NAACP advocates for justice through legal challenges, grassroots activism, and public awareness campaigns. It has played a significant role in major civil rights milestones, including the fight against segregation, voting rights, and social justice. The organization continues to address issues of inequality and systemic racism today.
