The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

The NAACP, or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is a civil rights organization founded in 1909. Its main goal is to fight discrimination, promote equal rights, and ensure that all people, regardless of race, have fair access to justice, education, and employment. The NAACP works through legal initiatives, advocacy, and public education to address issues like segregation, voting rights, and systemic inequality, aiming to create a more just and equitable society for African Americans and other marginalized groups.
