NAACP • The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) • Founded in 1909 it’s the oldest and largest civil rights organisation • Purpose of NAACP was to campaign for equal rights using legal action to improve employment, housing, voting and education • Led by W.E.B. Du Bois- the first Black to be awarded a degree from Harvard University • Du Bois wanted complete equality between the races and disagreed with the ideas of Booker T. Washington
“You should stop demanding equal rights. Education is the answer. Show White people that you can work hard and save for the future and then they will see that the Black man is a respectable person. Then we will be granted our rights.” Booker T Washington How do you think people reacted to Washington's ideas?

“Why should we try to fit into a White world? Why should we ask to be given Civil Rights? Black is beautiful! Up, you mighty race, you can do what you set out to do! Europe for the Europeans, Asia for the Asians and African for the Africans! I say back to Africa!” Marcus Garvey - How do you think people reacted to this idea?
