Question

what was one reason for the founding of the naacp?
a. to oppose prohibition
b. to oppose racism
c. to oppose evolution
d. to oppose immigration

Explanation:

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded to advocate for the rights of African - Americans. Racism was (and still is) a major issue that African - Americans faced. Opposing racism was a core objective of the NAACP.

• Prohibition (A) was about banning alcohol, which was not related to the NAACP's founding purpose.
• Opposing evolution (C) was more related to certain religious - educational debates, not the NAACP.
• Opposing immigration (D) was not the focus of the NAACP; its focus was on the rights of a marginalized group (African - Americans) within the US.

Answer:

B. To oppose racism
