NAACP
Oldest and largest U.S. civil-rights organization. It was founded in 1909 to secure political, educational, social, and economic equality for blacks; W. E. B. Du Bois and I. Wells were among its 60 founders. Its most successful efforts have been lawsuits, political activity, and public-education programs. In 1939 it organized the independent Legal Defense and Education Fund as its legal arm, which sued for school desegregation in Brown vs. Board of Education (1954). During World War II it pressed for desegregation of the armed forces, which was achieved in 1948. In 1967 its general counsel, T. Marshall, became the U.S. Supreme Court's first black justice.
