In case you didn’t know, the NAACP was founded in 1909—the same year as this newspaper—in response to the ongoing violence against Black people around the country. The NAACP is the largest civil rights organization in the nation. Its mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all people.
Under Johnson’s leadership, the NAACP has undertaken efforts such as the 2018 “Log Out” Facebook Campaign, pressuring Facebook after reports of Russian hackers targeting African Americans; the Jamestown to Jamestown Partnership, marking the 400th year enslaved Africans first touched the shores of America; and 2020’s We are Done Dying Campaign, exposing inequities embedded in the American healthcare system and the country at large.
Johnson elevated the NAACP’s visibility and voice in calling for a national response to the coronavirus pandemic that was informed by existing racial disparities in healthcare outcomes, access, coverage, and services, as well as the disparate impact of COVID-19 on African Americans and other people of color.
