Today, March 20, 2020, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund turns 80 years old. Founded in 1940 by a group of courageous & visionary Black lawyers, incl’g #ThurgoodMarshall, @NAACP_LDF sought to transform a country rife w/ racism & racial inequity w/out a blueprint or roadmap. #LDF80 1/5
In this time of turmoil, I can’t think of a better place to fight for the dignity of humanity & especially of Black ppl than @NAACP_LDF. Few advocacy orgs created by us & for us have endured this long. And, we’re committed to cont the fight for our future. Happy #LDF80! 2/5
I came to LDF as a @FriedFrank fellow in 2000. 20 yrs laters, I am proud to support @sifill_LDF in leading this distinctive legacy institution, home to legendary lawyers like #ConstanceBakerMotley #JackGreenberg and my personal heroes #ElaineJones and #TedShaw. #LDF80 3/5
