HISTORY AND PURPOSE

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was
formed in 1909 by a group of white and black citizens appalled at the injustices that
some Americans suffered solely because of their race. Mary White Ovington led the
organization with zeal and enthusiasm through many obstacles.

The organization has grown steadily since then. Today, it is the largest and most influential
civil rights organization in the country. The basic strengths of the NAACP are
derived from its historic victories in the courts, its belief in the cause and legislative
actions at all levels.

To keep pace with changing times, the NAACP has launched a number of dynamic
social programs. These programs are aimed at speeding the march toward victory over
racism, hatred, bigotry and poverty.
