Answer 1

B) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NACCP) was formed by W. E. B. Du Bois, Mary White Ovington and Moorfield Storey in 1909 with the sole purpose of ensuring African Americans had a better standard of living.
