Tragedy: The Birth of the NAACP," by LCN adjunct faculty Ron Swan
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was born from the ashes of tragedy of the Springfield Race Riot of August 15-17, 1908. Springfield, Illinois, hometown and burial site of the great emancipator and 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, became the catalyst for the formation of the NAACP. Springfield, not only the hometown and burial site of Lincoln, but the capital of Illinois the first state to ratify the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolishing slavery on February 1, 1865 (Emory University School of Law). Following this historic event, the newly-elected Governor Richard Oglesby signed the bill repealing the so called "Black Laws" on February 7, 1865 designed to prohibit blacks from voting, testifying in court against a white person, or serving on juries.
