The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or NAACP is an interracial membership organization, founded in 1909.  The NAACP is devoted to civil rights and racial justice.

Combining the white philanthropic support that characterized Booker T. Washington's accomodationist organizations with the call for racial justice delivered by W. E. B. DuBois's militant Niagara Movement, the NAACP forged a middle road of interracial cooperation.  Throughout its existence it has worked primarily through the American Legal System to fulfill its goals of full suffrage and other civil rights, and an end to segregation and racial violence.

The NAACP currently focuses on economic development and educational programs for youths, while also continuing its role as legal advocate for civil rights issues.
