Abstract
Abstract Edwin Embree, at the time of this letter, was vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation. He later became president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Johnson assumed that Embree would pass this letter on to Rosen-wald. In existence for eighteen years, the NAACP’s work proceeded along three lines: education of public opinion through intelligent agitation and publicity; legal defense in order to prevent the hardening of injustices into custom through more default on the part of African-Americans; and securing, reaffirming, and clarifying citizenship rights through the highest courts. Citing the needs of the NAACP, this essay notes that if blacks failed in the objectives of the NAACP, whatever they accomplished in other endeavors would be of insignificant consequence.
