Disrupting the Status Quo

Duluth Branch NAACP


The Duluth Branch of the NAACP is a pivotal force in advancing racial equity and social justice in northeastern Minnesota. Established in the aftermath of the 1920 Duluth lynchings, the branch has been instrumental in addressing systemic racism and fostering community unity.

Guided by the national NAACP's mission to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens and to eliminate race-based discrimination, the Duluth Branch focuses on creating equitable opportunities for people of African heritage and other marginalized communities in the Northland. 

The branch operates through various committees, including Criminal Justice, Education, Health, Economic Development, and Young Adult Engagement, each dedicated to tackling specific areas of inequality. Notable initiatives encompass health equity partnerships, restorative justice programs, and community crisis response teams. 

Community engagement is central to the branch's activities, with regular events such as the annual Freedom Fund Dinner, MLK, Juneteenth celebrations, and monthly general membership meetings. These gatherings serve as platforms for education, advocacy, and solidarity.
