For more than ninety-five years, the NAACP built and grew on the collective courage of thousands of people. People of all races, nationalities and faiths united on one premise. . . that all men and women are created equal.

The nation's oldest civil rights organization has changed America's history. Despite violence, intimidation and hostile government policies, the NAACP and its grass-roots membership persevered.
