*About the NAACP (from their website, www.naacp.org
<http://www.naacp.org>):*
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has
worked over the years to support and promote our country's civil rights
agenda. Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to end
racial discrimination while also ensuring the political, social, and
economic equality of all people. The Association will continue this mission
through its policy initiatives and advocacy programs at the local, state,
and national levels. From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated
workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and
maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard
to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly
one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members
that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.
