01
Artifact Overview
This 1953 membership campaign brochure solicited support for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and its causes. Formed in 1909, the NAACP emphasized fighting for racial equality through legal actions rather than political protest or economic agitation. A major victory occurred a year later when the Supreme Court struck down racial segregation in public schools.
