We have over 2,200 units and branches across the nation, along with well over 2M activists. Our mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons. In media attributions, please refer to us as the NAACP. NOTE: The Legal Defense Fund &#8211; also referred to as the NAACP-LDF was founded in 1940 as a part of the NAACP, but separated in 1957 to become a completely separate entity. It is recognized as the nation&#8217;s first civil and human rights law organization, and shares our commitment to equal rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the full list of nominees for the &#8220;53rd NAACP Image Awards&#8221; were announced in a special virtual event on NAACP&#8217;s Instagram channel hosted by actress and musician Kyla Pratt, &#8220;Black-ish&#8221; actor Marcus Scribner and singer-songwriter Tinashe (@naacpimageawards).
