Making democracy work since 1909.
Seacoast NH NAACP
The wheels of justice should move fairly for all.
Russell Nelson/NAACP
Our mission is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.
Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
Bold, brave, dignified and united actions by ordinary people with extraordinary conviction advanced civil rights for Black Americans during the 1960s. In regions like the New Hampshire seacoast, discrimination was often subtle and difficult to target, but as problems were defined, solutions were developed and implemented.
