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 It now has been superseded, to some extent, the other organizations but it still plays an important role in assisting black people in American society.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.
