NAACP CELEBRATING 100 YEARS



The NAACP and The Crisis Publishing Company have joined with Gibbs Smith to bring you a visually stunning and groundbreaking new book that captures the 100 years of the NAACP and The Crisis, NAACP: Celebrating a Century, 100 Years in Pictures ($40.00; 1-4236-0527-6; HC; 600 Color and B&W Photos; 472 Pages; February 2009). The NAACP is built on the collective courage of thousands of people of all races, nationalities and faiths united in one premise: that all men and women are created equal. From the ballot box to the boardroom, the NAACP has led the fight for civil rights and social justice.


NAACP: Celebrating a Century, 100 Years in Pictures covers the founding of the organization by Ida Wells-Barnett, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Moscowitz, Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villiard, and William English Walling, and follows it through to its widespread influence today. Featuring over 600 photos from the NAACP and Library of Congress archives, some of them published for the first time, NAACP: Celebrating a Century, 100 Years in Pictures is a must-have!
