NAACP

The NAACP is a Nationwide organization that has been around for almost one hundred years. It is the oldest civil rights organization in the US and has more than a half-million members. The organization helps promote freedom of voting for all colors and other racial freedoms. Many colored people just like Ella Baker joined the NAACP during the civil rights movement to help the freedom come.

    Was Ella Baker a leading official or major advocate for the NAACP causes to promote her freedoms, or was she just a member?

    Becca- Ella Baker was a major leading offical although she tended to work behind the lines.

    Wayde- The NAACP definatly played a huge role in helping colored people get rights, because it was not only made up of black people but also white people.
