Why did Mary Ovington start the NAACP?
Why did Mary Ovington conceive of the NAACP? In one word...Pity. Unlike every other white member of the NAACP (the creators of the NAACP were all white), Mary Ovington not only spent a very considerable amount of time among Negroes (she was a life-long spinster) but even lived among them. No white male or female knew the Negro better than Miss Ovington. She was no doubt very curious and more concerned about why the economic situation of the Negro was so desperate. Mary want to 'help'. To white males, black males lived separate. White and black were separate. Indeed, white and black living separate was even part of our legal code (Plessy vs. Ferguson 1896). Particularly in the South but still very much part of the mind-set of white people in every part of the country, they would not pity the black man. He had to make his own way; and preferably among his own people. Miss Ovington saw differently. She wanted integration for the black man. Because of the separation of white and black, Miss Ovington believe, he (the black man) was made to suffer. Mary Ovington demanded pity. Evidently, Miss Ovington never bothered to consider how it was that in every place the Negroes were present in an urban setting their economic condition was desperate. And the more that came, the more desperate became their condition. How could such desperateness exist everywhere for Negro in the urban areas? But desperation does breed one thing: Pity.
