Answer 2

the NAACP worked for decades to lay the legal groundwork for desegregation.

The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People have played a significant role in the civil rights movement. It was founding in 1909 by a group of multi-racial activists. At the beginning it was known as the National Negro Committee.

In 1913, this Association publicaly criticised the president Woodrow Wilson who introduced segregation into federal government. Some of its accomplishments were: It banned states from having segregated facilities on busses and trains that crossed state borders. Furthermore, it pressured President Truman into signing the Executive Order in order to ban discrimination by the Federal government.
