What is the origin and function of the NAACP?
The NAACP was formed in the 1940's or earlier to help improve the condition of negroes (now called blacks) in the US, particularly in situations requiring legal assistance in court issues. It now has been superseded, to some extent, the other organizations but it still plays an important role in assisting black people in American society. Thurgood Marshall, once a lawyer representing the NAACP in groundbreaking (important) issues before the Supreme Court, went on to become the first black Supreme Court justice, appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967. He served honourably for over 25 years.

They conduct research, provide policy recommendations, and use media campaigns to raise awareness about issues affecting marginalized communities. The organization also participates in legal advocacy, filing lawsuits to challenge discriminatory practices and influence judicial outcomes. Through these efforts, the NAACP aims to promote social justice and equality at local, state, and national levels.
What two laws were overthrown in case fought by the NAACP?
In the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the NAACP successfully challenged and ultimately overthrew the legal doctrine of "separate but equal," established by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). This ruling declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, effectively overturning state laws that mandated separate educational facilities for African American and white students. The decision was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to greater efforts to dismantle segregation across various aspects of American life.
Why did some not want the NAACP to challenge the separate but equal clause for schools?
Some individuals opposed the NAACP's challenge to the "separate but equal" doctrine because they believed it would upset the social order and exacerbate racial tensions. Others feared that such legal challenges could lead to broader demands for civil rights and social integration, threatening the established racial hierarchy. Additionally, some white citizens and politicians viewed the NAACP as a radical organization that aimed to dismantle segregation entirely, which they perceived as a threat to their way of life.
