The NAACP’s Second Century:
Leading the Fight for Equality on Every Front…

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Lawton, OK NAACP

Education—Preventing Racial Discrimination in Educational Programs and Services; Advancing Educational Excellence; Promoting an Equal Opportunity Education.

Economic Empowerment—Create opportunities for African Americans in five key areas: employment, vendor development, investment/franchising, advertising/marketing and philanthrophy; Leverage the economic impact of the African-American dollar on an entire industry; Develop an effective method of evaluating and grading corporate reciprocity through publication of consumer guides and report cards.

Voter Empowerment—The non-partisan NAACP Voter Empowerment Program is an aggressive campaign designed to empower the African-American community by increasing awareness and participation in the full political process in local, state and federal elections. To achieve its objectives, the Voter Empowerment Program provides support and expert services to state and local NAACP units to galvanize and increase voter participation in their communities.

Health Care—Long before it became a broad-based public concern, efforts were underway to ensure that economic and social barriers would not lead to increasingly severe health crises in minority communities. In the early 1930’s a national Health committee was organized under the leadership of Dr. Montague Cobb. Today, the NAACP’s Health Division is leading efforts to inform and educate minorities about health care costs; quality and access; disease prevention; health care professions and training; and, youth and elderly health issues.
