Background Info
The NAACP aims to ensure the political, educational, social, and economical equality of rights for all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.
In 2005 several Dartmouth students came together to form a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) at Dartmouth College in an effort to express their dedication to social activism and political awareness. In the summer of 2005, Dartmouth College recognized the the NAACP as a student organization. Two years later, in March of 2007, the student organization was recognized by the NAACP National Office and officially designated as a National College Chapter of the NAACP at Dartmouth College.
Since its inception in 2005, the Dartmouth Chapter of the NAACP has become increasingly active in holding dinners and discussions, political rallies, and other programs designed to further awareness about how the mission and legacy of the NAACP help to advance the sociopolitical struggles of historically marginalized groups in the United States. Chapter meetings are held weekly and membership is open to both the campus and surrounding community.
