The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is a civil rights organization founded in 1909 to fight racial discrimination and promote equality for African Americans. It works through legal advocacy, public education, and political activism to challenge injustice, secure voting rights, and improve social and economic opportunities. The NAACP has played a key role in landmark civil rights movements and laws, striving to ensure that all individuals are treated fairly and have equal access to rights and justice regardless of their race.
