The NAACP got involved in the Civil Rights Movement during 1909. After riots in Springfield, the capitol of Illinois, during the summer of 1908, a reporter named William English Walling wrote an article about the trouble. Mary White Ovington, known as the first member, invited him to meet with her in New York. Ovington was a white woman who became involved in the Civil Rights Movement in 1890 after hearing Frederick Douglass speak in a church. She wrote for multiple radical journals and newspapers before becoming executive secretary of the NAACP.
