Flag, announcing lynching, flown from the window of the NAACP headquarters on 69 Fifth Avenue, NYC. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909 as a bi-racial endeavor to advance justice for African-Americans. Lynchings rose in number after the American Civil War, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s but have continued to take place into the 21st century. Most lynchings were of African-American men in the South. Visual Materials from the NAACP, 1936.
