Abstract
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has been credited in recent years as a crucial force in securing equal rights for African Americans in the United States, particularly during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s [Black Scholar 19 (1988) 9; J. South. History 59 (1993) 1; Historian 55 (1993) 453]. Indeed, Watson [Historian 55 (1993) 453] argues “no other organization contributed more to making the U.S. Constitution responsive to the needs of all citizens.” Yet, during the early 1960s, while its leaders were engaged in the battle for equality under the law for African Americans, they fought on another front as well: maintaining their position as the preeminent civil rights organization in the eyes of African Americans [Historian 55 (1993) 453].
