The movement i choose was NAACP Formation & Anti-Lynching to the Great Migration. NAACP means National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.NAACP wanted to to ensure equal rights to everyone in culture, race, american society.NAACP won Supreme Court decision aganist the grandfather clause.Also fought School segregation in Northern cities. Unsucessfully didnt get the Anti-Lynching Bill.The positives about the NAACP was that it wqas letting freedom for blacks in the world.Negavite about the NAACP was that some people died for this group just for us now days can have freedom. Anti-Lynching to the Great Migration was to stop lynching of blacks.It wasnt just blacks some whites was helping to stop lynching. Negitive about the Anti-lynching was that more people had got lynch because of it. Positive is that less people was going to get lynched and it was going to get stopped.
