"We Have Come This Far By Faith"
Who We Are & What We Stand For
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the United States. Its story is essentially the story of the American struggle for racial justice over the last century. The organization was founded in 1909 in response to the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois. A group of Black and white activists joined forces to create a formal organization that would fight for the political, social, and economic equality of Black Americans. Despite significant progress in recent decades, the fight continues today. The NAACP remains committed and proactive, concentrating on contemporary issues such as: 1) Criminal Justice Reform - tackling mass incarceration and ensuring police accountability, 2)Voting Rights - Combating voter and gerrymandering, 3)Economic Equity -Addressing the racial wealth gap and promoting fair access to healthcare.
