Historical Note
The NAACP Syracuse University Unit is a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) that was established at the University in 1985. It was the first student chapter of the NAACP in central New York. The chapter's main initiatives have been to promote diversity on the Syracuse University campus, increase NAACP membership, and encourage awareness about social justice and political activism. The chapter has hosted various banquets, forums, and peaceful protests to generate dialogue about diversity on campus, police brutality, and voter registration.
