Minneapolis NAACP takes to the street in protest � against itself During the heyday of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and �60s, the NAACP was at the forefront of that historic struggle, leading demonstrations and protests. The legal, if not necessarily the societal goal of those battles was achieved, but such tactics have been little used by that organization in recent years. That, however, has changed for Minneapolis.
