OUR HISTORY
In 1905 W.E.B. Dubois called for a meeting of several black
intellectuals to meet in Niagara Falls, Canada. They met to
discuss and challenge the policies of the day which prevented
blacks from being full members of American society. In
response to the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, Dubois
and members of the Niagara Movement came together with a
group of white liberals and issued "The Call" for a national
conference in New York City to renew "the struggle for civil and
political liberty." They initially called themselves the National
Negro Committee.
However, on February 12, 1909, this multiracial group of
activists founded The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and incorporated
the organization in 1911.
