Question

What was one reason for the founding of the NACCP

Answer 1

The NAACP is an acronym for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a group dedicated to gaining, maintaining, and preserving the rights of African Americans in the United States. It was formed in 1909, and became a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s in the context of the Civil Rights Movement, and continues to have significant effects in the lives of African Americans and other minorities all throughout the United States and the world.

Answer 2

It was founded in 1909, by Du Bois as a direct result of lynching.

Step-by-step explanation:

The NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was established in 1909 and is America's oldest and largest civil rights organization. It was formed in New York City by white and Black activists, partially in response to the ongoing violence against Black Americans around the country. In 1908, a deadly race riot rocked the city of Springfield, eruptions of anti-black violence – particularly lynching – were horrifically commonplace, but the Springfield riot was the final tipping point that led to the creation of the NAACP.
