The Extra Mile

— Points of Light Volunteer Pathway —

In 1909, W.E.B. DuBois, a leading spokesman in the Campaign for racial equality, joined Mary White Ovington, Moorfield Storey, William English Walling, John Milholland, Oswald Garrison Villard, Frances Blascoer and 54 other prominent Americans as founding officers of the NAACP. Both Ovington and DuBois served in crucial roles at the NAACP for decades, helping guide its policies and programs.

"I believe that all men black and brown and white, are brothers, varying in time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development." — W.E.B. DuBois
