In partnership with Afrobrutality, WheelWOD has adapted the full month of workouts written by Syn Martinez.

“The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is Founded”

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavour to advance justice for African Americans by a group including W. E. B. Du BoisMary White OvingtonMoorfield Storey and Ida B. Wells.  And leaders of the organization include Thurgood Marshall and Roy Wilkins.

Its mission in the 21st century is “to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination”. National NAACP initiatives include political lobbying, publicity efforts and litigation strategies developed by its legal team. The group enlarged its mission in the late 20th century by considering issues such as police misconduct, the status of black foreign refugees and questions of economic development. Its name, retained in accordance with tradition, uses the once common term colored people, referring to those with some African ancestry.
