Mission
The NAACP's mission statement gives a broad sense of the benefits African-American people derive from it. The organization strives to support educational, political, economic and social equality of rights regardless of people's color. The NAACP also seeks to identify, eliminate and prevent racial hatred and discrimination.
Features
The NAACP is most known for its role in doing research, making statements and publishing literature about political issues affecting African-Americans. Other programs the NAACP actively organizes include ACT-SO (the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics); civic engagement actions, such as voter registration drives; economic empowerment campaigns that support African-Americans gaining representation in various professions; gathering of volunteers for relevant causes; health awareness campaigns; media monitoring; the re-enfranchising of ex-felons; advocacy for women of color; and campaigns targeting youth.
