This year, the NAACP celebrates its 100th anniversary - which coincides with the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth and the inauguration of the first African-American president of the United States of America.

The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, the capital of Illinois and the birthplace of President Abraham Lincoln. Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard (both descendants of abolitionists), William English Walling, and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice. Some 60 people, seven of whom were African-American (including W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Mary Church Terrell), signed the call, which was released on the centennial of Lincoln's birth.

Since then, the NAACP has grown into being the nation's oldest, largest, and most widely recognized grassroots based civil rights organization.

As a non-profit organization, all officers and executive committee members at the local and conference level work on a volunteer basis to defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Our work does not end there. Each year we plan a series of community outreach events as well as fundraising events. We are successful because of the participation of our members and support from the greater community.

It takes more than a great plan; it takes great people to see that plan through.
