100th Anniversary Of The NAACP: The Struggle Continues

Congratulations are in order for the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on the celebration of their 100th Anniversary. The esteemed civil rights organization was established in 1909 as a response to the social and civil injustices that faced people of color. As the NAACP reflects on the first 100 years, the organization in no ways rests upon its laurels. The first 100 years were met with some of the same forms of social and civil injustices that have been disguised in a more malignant form. The struggle continues. Even as the struggle continues, the education and work of the NAACP must continue also. Every race, creed and nationality within the United States needs to know about and understand the role of importance of the NAACP. Let us make it our obligation to make younger generations aware of the NAACP and let us support the NAACP and the invaluable work that they do for the benefit of us all.

Here's to another 100 years for the NAACP.
