Which individual helped to found an organization dedicated to advancing civil rights and political equality?

• A. WEB Du Bois
• B. Ida B. Wells
• C. Andrew Johnson
• D. Booker T. Washington

Answer: (A)

W.E.B. Du Bois helped found the NAACP, a national organization created in 1909 to push for civil rights and political equality for Black Americans. Du Bois, a renowned scholar and activist, argued for immediate civil rights and used both organizing and legal challenges to confront segregation and disenfranchisement. The NAACP became a leading vehicle for advancing equality through court cases, lobbying, and public advocacy. While Ida B. Wells was a major reformer and Booker T. Washington emphasized education and economic advancement, Du Bois is the figure most closely associated with establishing a national civil rights organization focused on political equality.
