Abstract
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the longest operating civil rights organization in the United States. It was established in 1909 and continues into the twenty‐first century fighting modern forms of racism. The NAACP is best known for arguing the US Supreme Court caseBrown v. Board of Education of Topeka, decided on May 17, 1954, which legally desegregated schools in America. Working in conjunction with other organizations such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the NAACP was a central tenet of the civil rights movement. It has provided both legal expertise in the constitutional battle for rights and the financial resources in the direct‐action campaigns of the 1960s.
