The NAACP was founded to fight against what?

The founding of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) in 1909 was primarily focused on addressing issues of lynching and racial discrimination, particularly against African Americans. This organization emerged during a period when such acts of violence were rampant, and there was a dire need for advocacy and legal challenges to combat systemic racism.

The NAACP aimed to raise awareness about the injustices faced by Black Americans and push for civil rights and social equality. Through litigation, public education, and advocacy, the organization sought to dismantle institutional racism and create a more equitable society.

While the other options reflect significant issues related to social climates of the time, they do not encapsulate the core mission of the NAACP's formation. The primary focus was on the violence and discrimination faced by African Americans, making the fight against lynching and racial discrimination the correct answer.
