The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the United States. Founded in 1909, the NAACP advocated for the rights and wellbeing of Black Americans with regards to legal protections, health, and economic opportunities. Buttons such as these were meant to be worn by NAACP members.
