True. Prior to the founding of the NAACP in 1909, a number of activists (both black and white) were frustrated that congress seemed unwilling to take any action to protect black people from unjust treatment (it was the era of segregation, when blacks were regularly excluded from certain jobs, schools, occupations, places to live, etc); nor take any action against the scourge of lynching (black southern men, many of whom were innocent but were perceived by a white person as having committed a crime, or of being rude/inappropriate to a white woman, were taken by white mobs and hung in public). The NAACP was founded in order to advocate for fair treatment for people of color, and to actively support the quest for civil rights.

Johnson in 1967. He served honourably for over 25 years.
