$a Primarily images of national and local NAACP administrative staff and programs. Almost half of the collection consists of portraits of NAACP headquarter staff, state and national conference delegates, branch officers, and members, as well as entertainers, sports figures, government officials, and other professionals. Other photographs document the Association's long-term efforts to promote civil rights legislation through litigation, public protest, and sustained monitoring and reporting of lynchings and other injustices against African Americans. Many photographs cover national and regional conference activities, fundraising and membership campaigns, and marches. In addition, the NAACP's efforts to integrate the Armed Forces are shown, particularly during World War II. Of special note are snapshots taken by NAACP staff. |

$a In 1909 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (originally known as the National Negro Committee) began to work toward the elimination of racial and social injustices against African Americans. Images in the collection reflect the civil rights campaigns and administrative activities of the Association. Many of the photographs are from wire services and independent commercial photographers. Some photos appear to have been taken by Association staff members, in particular, Roy Wilkins, Charles Houston, and possibly others, while investigating civil rights injustices. Numerous photos bear stamps and other editorial markings, indicating they were acquired and used primarily for publication in the NAACP's official magazine (the "Crisis") and in its newsletter (the "Bulletin"). |
