In 1909, The National Association of Colored People (NAACP) was established after the Springfield Riots. Working with Mary White Ovington, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois and others, the NAACP was created with the mission to end inequality. Today, the organization has more than 500,000 members and works on local, state and national levels to "ensure the political, education, social and economic equality for all, and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination."
