Which organization fought for African American civil rights?

• A. NRA
• B. AAA
• C. ACLU
• D. NAACP

Answer: (D)

Fighting for African American civil rights through legal challenges and organized advocacy is the hallmark of the NAACP. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, founded in 1909, focused on ending segregation and discrimination by challenging unjust laws in court and pushing for federal and state reforms. Its legal work, including the fight that led to Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, helped establish a constitutional basis for desegregation and paved the way for the broader civil rights movement. While other groups you might recognize serve different purposes, the NAACP specifically spearheaded organized efforts to secure equal rights for African Americans through legal means and policy change.
