 National Association for the Advancement of Colored People : NAACP 

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is an American civil rights organization.

The NAACP was founded as the American Negro Committee on February 12, 1909 by a group of thirteen activists, where W. E. B. DuBois was the only African-American while the others were Jewish Americans. The organization was one of the leading organizations involved in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s and 70s.

The first presidents of the NAACP were Jewish, but following the death of Kivie Kaplan[?] in 1975, an African American was elected. As of 2003, the president of the organisation is Kweisi Mfume.
