National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
The NAACP is well known in our communities, since its formation in 1909. As the leading national civil rights organization for African-Americans, the NAACP has been on the front lines for many of the nation’s civil right’s movements, including during the eras of Jim Crow, boycotts to end segregation alongside leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and others and more recently, the fight for LGBT rights in America. You can find a local chapter of the NAACP in your area to participate with, and with youth and adult memberships, almost anyone can join and help the fight for education and minority civil rights.
