In the view of many citizens, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the U.S. is guilty of the outrageous sin of being effective in its fight for racial equality and integration. This is why they're out to get it. Since its inception in 1909, the association has won many battles in court-the Supreme Court ruling to desegregate schools is perhaps its greatest victory to date-and steadily advanced African American rights. It functions with complete legality through due process of law, seeking to make the Constitution fully alive for the African American citizen. To persons who would like to "let race relations improve naturally" the association seems full men in a terrible hurry.
