Why was the naacp founded and what did it abolish?

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded in 1909 primarily to combat racial discrimination and promote civil rights for African Americans. It emerged in response to the pervasive racism of the time, including the rise of Jim Crow laws and racial violence. The organization aimed to abolish practices such as segregation, disenfranchisement, and lynching, advocating for social justice and equality through legal challenges, public protests, and education. Its efforts have significantly contributed to the advancement of civil rights in the United States.
