• Segregation laws

Answer 7

There were several: one major reason was as a response to the rise in lynching-- a brutal practice that was all too common in the south, where a black man was falsely accused of a crime (usually rape or assault of a white woman), and before a trial could even occur (or in some cases, after the black man was convicted by an all-white jury in a process that was meant to find him guilty), he was removed from the jail and hung as a public event-- some lynchings were treated as celebrations by the white supremacists who performed them. Despite considerable outrage from the black community (and from numerous white advocates for racial justice), lynchings continued and congress did absolutely nothing to stop them.

Another factor was the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, both the capital city and the resting place of President Abraham Lincoln. The riot by angry whites, who were upset that someone they had planned to lynch had been transferred to another city, resulted in serious damage, arson and looting in black neighborhoods in Springfield, as well as the deaths of two black people and numerous other injuries to black citizens. A growing number of activists, both black and white, decided that what was needed was a strong organization to speak out on behalf of racial equality and to oppose mistreatment of black (including the ongoing racist violence against them). Among the people who banded together to form what became the NAACP were white liberals such as Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard (both of whom were descendants of abolitionists), and black leaders, including W. E. B. Du Bois, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
