THE HISTORY OF THE WEST CHESTER, PA BRANCH OF THE NAACP
In the spring of 1919...
a decade after the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on April 5th, a group of 88 men and women gathered in West Chester, Pennsylvania for the purpose of establishing a local branch. (NAACP). The West Chester branch, established in April of 1919, has a rich history & relationship with the Charles A. Melton Arts & Education Center, formerly known as the West Chester Community.
As World War I came to an end one of the branch's first priority 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."
