Developed in partnership with the Verizon Foundation, the NAACP Interactive Timeline gives students, teachers and parents a unique and comprehensive view into the impact and influences of the NAACP during its first 100 years. This media-rich resource - filled with historic video, celebrity narration, and photos - will engage your students as they learn about the milestones, people and events that illustrate the organization's impact on civil rights, science, the arts, law and more.

"You're about to embark on a remarkable journey as you investigate one of the most inspirational chapters in America's history. The NAACP was founded in 1909 by a multi-racial and multi-religious group of brave men and women who shared a vision of America as one nation in which all of her citizens were insured political, educational, social and economic equality.

The NAACP Interactive Timeline is filled with personal stories of sacrifice and triumph. It is a complete learning tool, with links to educational resources that reveal our shared history through the written word, interviews, pictures, and film. You will be filled with pride when you see how much as been accomplished, and how far we've come as a country over the last 100 years.

Look around. Explore. Discover. Learn."

- Laurence Fishburne, Actor, Director, Producer, Playwright
