The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was co-founded by a group of leaders including W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells, and Moorfield Storey in 1909. W.E.B. Du Bois played a pivotal role in shaping the organization's mission and strategies to combat racial discrimination and promote civil rights. The NAACP emerged as a response to the systemic racism and violence faced by African Americans, particularly in the wake of the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois.
