The Longest Struggle. The History of the NAACP - 75 Year March, Part 4

Description

The march began in 1909, when a small group of Black and White citizens, a notable number of whom were socialists, appalled by the injustices suffered by some Americans solely because of their race, formed the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP subsequently emerged as the largest and most influential civil rights organization in the country, until its decline. This program from Tony Brown's Journal looks at the NAACP's accomplishments in school desegregation, prison reform, open hosing, equal employment, and voter registration.
