The Iowa State University Chapter of the NAACP - ISU NAACP

The Iowa State University Chapter of the NAACP - ISU NAACP Welcome to the official page of the ISU Chapter of the NAACP! We are excited to have you all on board with our chapter and its philosophies.

Founded in 1909 in New York City by a group of black and white citizens committed to social justice, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the nation's largest and strongest civil rights organization. For more than ninety one years, the NAACP has been built on the individual and collective courage of thousands of people. People of all races, nationalities and re

ligious denominations, who were united on one premise -- that all men and women are created equal. Although, one could write great prose about the triumphs of the NAACP, there is nothing more powerful than the facts of how the existence of the oldest civil rights organization has changed the face of history for this country. And despite threats of violence, and official government policies that were racist the NAACP continued and will continue to persevere.
