Historical/Biographical Information The Cincinnati branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was established in 1915 with only 15 to 20 members. At the time, the organization was considered radical and members were often afraid of losing their jobs if it was discovered they belonged. The group had no office and met in members' homes. One of its earliest successes was the elimination of the separate school system for African Americans. It also achieved breakthroughs in employment and public accommodations by relying on the power of the courts and public persuasion. By the mid-sixties, membership had grown into the thousands and demonstrations and sit-ins became useful tools for accomplishing goals. NAACP's Cincinnati chapter has continued to work for racial equality with all means at their disposal.
