This organization was established in 1909 and has played a crucial role in advocating for the rights and equality of African Americans and other marginalized communities. The NAACP has been involved in various civil rights initiatives, legal actions, and advocacy campaigns aimed at combating racial discrimination, promoting social justice, and securing equal rights for all citizens. The organization has been instrumental in important legal victories, such as the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The NAACP continues to be active in addressing issues related to racial injustice, voter rights, and other civil rights concerns in the United States.

NAACP provides many different types of resources. There are events and meetings you are able to attend. They also include information about your legal rights. A great example of this is information they provide on what to do when being approached by the police:

1. Do ask for a lawyer immediately upon being arrested or being placed into custody.

2. Do stay calm and keep your emotions from getting the best of you. Be courteous even if the police officer is not. You will only give the officers more ammunition against you if you begin yelling, arguing or refusing reasonable directives.

3. Do carry identification at all times and be prepared to produce it.

4. Do keep your hands where the police officer can see them.

5. Do take photographs, if you are injured, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

6. Do remember the officer's name and badge number as well as any witness information. Write down everything you remember about the encounter as soon as possible.

7. Don't run.

8. Don't touch the police officer.

9. Don't make any statements about the incident without first having spoken to an attorney. Reiterate your right to remain silent, if necessary.

Two of our characters lived before these organizations were established. However, they would have protected both Felix and Sitting Bull. The NCAAP would have fought fort the right to have Felix's funeral. Despite the fact that Felix fought for the US, the government denied sending his body home. If the NCAAP was around they could have fought against that decision.

Sitting Bull experienced a type of incarceration and criminalization. The US government did anything they could to take this land. An organization like LIVEFREE could have possibly fought for the right of the Sioux people.
