The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was founded in 1909 by a group of activists, including W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells, and Mary White Ovington, among others. W.E.B. Du Bois played a crucial role in its formation and was the organization's first director of research and editor of its magazine, The Crisis. The NAACP was established to combat racial discrimination and promote civil rights for African Americans.
