The NAACP was helpful through the Civil Rights Movement by using the supreme court to solve segregation problems without violence.

Book: The American story V.2 fourth edition Published by penguin academics Written by Robert A. Divine, T.H.Breen, George M. Fredrickson, R. Hal Williams, Ariela J. Gross, and H.W. Brands- states on page 733- "The NAACP concentrated first on universities, successfully waging an intensive legal battle to win admission for qualified African American to graduate and professional schools. Led by Thurgood Marshall, NAACP lawyers then took on the broader issue of segregation in the country's public schools. Challenging the 1896 Supreme Court decision (Plessy V. Ferguson) that upheld the constitutionality of separate but equal public facilities, Marshall argued that even Substantially equal but separate schools did profound psychological damage to African American children and thus violated the 14th amendment."
