Colorado – Montana – Wyoming State Conference
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in 1909 by a multi-racial, multi-ethnic group of freedom fighters to end the epidemic of lynchings at the turn of the century. Our Founders include W.E.B. DuBois, Mary White Ovington and Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
