Question 8 • United States History and Geography

Which best describes one reason that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed?

Answer
A
to form an African American political party
B
to make slavery illegal in the United States
C
to start a “back to Africa” movement
D
to stop violence against African Americans

Explanation

The NAACP was founded in 1909 to advance the rights of African Americans and challenge racial discrimination. One important reason for its formation was to oppose racial violence, including lynching. Slavery had already been made illegal in the United States, and the organization was not created to start a “back to Africa” movement or form a separate political party.
