About Us

About the Branch

Since its inception, the National Association for the Advancement of  Colored People (NAACP) was poised for a long, tumultuous and rewarding  history. Although it may be possible to chronicle the challenging and  harrowing legacy of the NAACP, the real story of the nation’s most  significant civil rights organization lies in the hearts and minds of  the people who would not stand still while the rights of some of  America’s darker citizens were denied.


From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers,  organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain  its status as a champion of social justice fought long and hard to  ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. The legacy  of those pioneers, such as W.E.B. DuBois, Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins  and the hundreds of thousands of nameless faces who worked so  tirelessly, can not and must not be forgotten.


The history of the NAACP is one of blood, sweat and tears. From bold  investigations of mob brutality and protests against mass murders,  segregation and discrimination; to testimony before congressional  committees on the vicious tactics used to bar African Americans from the  ballot box, it was the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that saved  lives and changed many negative aspects of American society. While much  of its history is chronicled in books, articles, pamphlets and  magazines, the true movement lies in the faces-black, white, yellow, red  and brown-united to awaken the consciousness of a people and a nation.  This is the legacy of the NAACP!


The Charles County NAACP branch principle objectives are directed by our national leadership to follow the statement of objectives found in the NAACP Constitution – the principal objectives of the Association  shall be:

  • To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens
  • To achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States
  • To remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes
  • To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights
  • To inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination
  • To educate persons as to their constitutional rights and to take all lawful action to secure the exercise thereof, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the  NAACP’s Articles of Incorporation and this Constitution.
