FULL TIMELINE

Brown NAACP Chapter Founded

In 1955, the Brown chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded. The activities of the co-ed group included voting drives, leafleting, fundraising and, in 1962, the picketing of a local Howard Johnson’s to put pressure on the national chain to desegregate in the South. Later in 1962, the Brown branch of the NAACP re-formed as a branch of the Northern Student Movement.
