THE HISTORY OF THE WEST CHESTER, PA BRANCH OF THE NAACP

image42

In the spring of 1919...

a decade after the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) a group of 88 men and women gathered in West Chester, Pennsylvania for the purpose of establishing a local branch. (NAACP).  

(1)  As World War I came to an end one of the branch's first priorities was to form a committee, to meet and interview local political leaders, to advocate that returning veterans "be remembered when patronage was to be distributed."
