Back to Segregation
Many African-Americans took great measures to protest segregation and discrimination. In 1910 a group of Blacks consisting of such people as W.E.B. DuBois, Ida Wells and Mary Church Terrell formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP's role was to fight for the rights of Negroes, and fight it did. It won numerous cases it took before the Supreme Court, thus advancing the status of Negroes in America. In 1911, the National Urban League was formed in order to supervise the needs of Blacks ini growing cities.
