In the first week of January of 1909 the initial meeting of
the fledgling National Association of Colored People (NAACP) took place in a
tiny apartment in New York City.
Its organizers were a Mary White Ovington, William English
Walling and Henry Moskovitz. At this meeting they agreed that on the coming
Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday (February 12) they would circulate an open call for
a conference about the “Negro Situation”, as it was called at that time.
They managed to get the resulting document signed by 60
prominent black and white activists.

White Ovington was not a Black Person.
Ø William
English Walling was not a Black Person.
Ø Henry
Moskovitz was not a Black Person.
This means that the 3 most prominent people who founded the
NAACP Were Not Black People.
