The creation of the NAACP can be most likely seen as a response to C. Plessy v. Ferguson. The 1896 Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal." This court case was a significant legal basis for institutionalized racism and discrimination, prompting the formation of organizations like the NAACP to combat such injustices and work towards equality for African Americans and other minority groups.
The NAACP’s principal objective is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority citizens of the United States and eliminate race prejudice.
Based on its objective, the creation of the NAACP can be MOST likely seen as a response to what court case?
