Reflections on the NAACP
The NAACP has been very instrumental in the African American experience by helping people who have been violated of the rights written in your U.S. constitution . It gave people hope so when they were violated of there rights they felt in the end it would be justice in there favor . The Chapter in Oklahoma has contributed a great amount .`The court case in Oklahoma helped set the case of Brown vs. the board of education in Topeka Kansas. Which is one of the most popular cases presented by the NAACP. ( Google) The NAACP’s relevance to the legal movement is very strong and power. In almost every case or maybe all cases involving African Americans the NAACP was involved in 100 percent. The reconstruction period was one of the most important period’s in are countries history. It Was when Slavery was first abolished and the Compromise of 1877 was first established . So I guess you could say the reconstruction period was a great success. The Have programs that help all races in are society. The NAACP is just not for African Americans now its for all ethnicities . They help everyone who has been treat wrong or violated of there rights . The visitors we have had in class has really opened my eyes about certain things. I have a completely difference aspect of things in life now . Ranging from African American studies and the experience . Plus not to ever give up on my dreams just complete everything I need to do . So my dream could be a reality . The African American experience is wonderful I feel everyone should now about these incredible facts or events that have happened in the past , How a Group of people stood up for them selves until they where treated as equal’s. A lot of us take things granted and we really don’t appreciate what we have now . Because a lot of us in the generation prolly wouldn’t have made back then in that time . Those where some strong people who with stood a lot of turmoil to achieve a goal .
