Founded in 1909 in response to the ongoing violence against Black people around the country, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is the largest and most pre-eminent civil rights organization in the nation. We have over 2,200 units and branches across the nation, along with well over 2 million activists. It was founded in direct response to the oppression, racial discrimination, and disenfranchisement of Black people. The <a href="http://www.lexnaacp.net" style="color:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;-webkit-user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit">original NAACP General Meeting of the Lexington-Fayette Branch</a>  was on January 30, 1919, Local member citizens worked tirelessly to establish the local branch in Lexington, KY. Mrs. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Beatrice Cooke Fouse (1875–1952), a committed social activist and a member of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) and the founder of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. in 1920, who later became President of the Kentucky Association of Colored Women (KACW), was instrumental in the establishment of the Lexington chapter. She is listed in the NAACP historical papers as the Principal Correspondent for the Lexington, Kentucky chapter. On March 4, 1919, the Lexington chapter received a letter from the national office in New York indicating that the National body of the NAACP had approved the establishment of the Lexington-Fayette Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.  On March 26, 1919, a letter was sent to the local branch informing them that their charter was in the mail and to "pass it on to future branches."  It's one thing to succeed as a community - it's another thing to thrive.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 30px;font-size:1.4375rem;line-height:1.391304;letter-spacing:0.03125rem;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:&quot;Verlag A&quot;, &quot;Verlag B&quot;, Verlag, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;width:100%">Take your advocacy one step further.
