the rare first report of the naacp. Founded in 1910 by a group of reformers led by W. E. B. Du Bois, Mary White Ovington. Moorfield Storey, Oswald Garrison Villard, and a group of ministers, the purpose of the NAACP was "To uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing for them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts, and equality of opportunity everywhere." The "Program" for 1911 consisted of 9 points: 1. To begin immediately a scientific study of Negro schools. 2. To organize a Legal Redress Committee of national scope, whose work shall be dealing with injustice in the courts as it affects the Negro. 3. To establish a Bureau of Information . . . 4. To publish The Crisis . .5. to hold mass meetings 6. To form local groups. . etc. Number 9. was "To make foreign propaganda to which Mr. Du Bois, director of publicity and research for the Association will make a European trip in April, May and June, culminating in the Race Congress in London, of which Mr. Du Bois is one of the secretaries." We could find no copies of this first report in any library.
