Lesson #2:
the national association for the advancement of colored people [naacp]

Picture
Picture
The NAACP focused on five major areas from 1920 to 1950: anti-lynching legislation, voter participation, employment, due process under the law, and education. At yearly conventions in different cities around the country, it drew attention to regional needs and interests and encouraged nationwide participation.

How can the strength of a community - or an organization - be more powerful than an individual?  How does the NAACP showcase this?

Read all the text below to learn more about the Founder of the NAACP and then complete the Google Forms worksheet

the founder:

Picture
The organization was founded by W.E.B DuBois in 1909 to promote the rights of minorities.  Many of the early legal battles undertaken by the NAACP revolved around the topic of education.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest civil rights organization. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the association led the black civil rights struggle in fighting injustices such as the denial of voting rights, racial violence, discrimination in employment, and segregated public facilities. Dedicated to the goal of an integrated society, the national leadership has always been interracial, although the membership has remained predominantly African American.


On their website, the NAACP highlights several key individuals who were important in advancing the rights of African Americans.  Four of those people are linked below (just click their picture).  For Extra Credit, you can choose one of these individuals to write about in a Bonus Journal.
