Abstract
This chapter sheds light on the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which launched a campaign in the mid-1930s against torture and forced confessions in the South. The NAACP led legal battles to combat discrimination against African American citizens in the areas of education, labor, voting rights, and the judicial system. Cases the NAACP financially supported and appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court include Brown v. Mississippi, the Chambers v. Florida, the Lyons case, and the Groveland Four. The NAACP aimed to draw attention to lynching violence and characterizes the barbaric acts to American nation as a strategy to bring awareness of racial discrimination against African American.
