Norwich Branch NAACP - Civil Rights Non-profit organization
About NAACP Norwich : Linwood Bland was President of the New London Branch NAACP and well known for his linwoodBlanddevotion to civil rights work in Southeastern Connecticut. After receiving discrimination complaints from Norwich citizens who held membership in the New London Branch, Linwood Bland and Amanda Braboy (of Norwich) began to gather memberships to form the Norwich Branch.
Among the complaints received from Blacks was that an eatery on West Main Street would require Blacks to pay in advance for their meals and then would break the glasses they used in their presence.
On October 14, 1963, the Norwich Branch NAACP received its charter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with a total of 111 chartered members.
Formed in 1909, by a multiracial group of progressive thinkers, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people (NAACP) is a non-profit organization.
The NAACP has as its mission the goal of eliminating race prejudice and removing all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic process.
This mission is accomplished by seeking the enactment and enforcement of federal, state and local laws securing civil rights, and by informing the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination.
Throughout its history, the pursuit of racial equality has been fought by educating members and the greater society of their constitutional rights and by taking all lawful actions to secure the exercise of those rights.
