Crisis Magazine December 1960
The Crisis magazine was a publication that was founded by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1910. It was the official magazine of the NAACP and was edited by W.E.B. Du Bois, a prominent civil rights activist and scholar.
The magazine was created as a platform for African Americans to voice their concerns and to promote social justice and equality. It covered a wide range of topics, including civil rights, politics, education, and culture. It also featured works of art, poetry, and literature by African American artists and writers.
The Crisis magazine played a significant role in the civil rights movement of the early 20th century. It helped to raise awareness about issues such as lynching, segregation, and discrimination, and it advocated for the rights and freedoms of African Americans. The magazine also helped to raise funds for the NAACP's legal defense fund, which supported legal challenges to segregation and discrimination.
The publication of The Crisis magazine was suspended during the Great Depression, but it was revived in 1940 and continued to be published until 2014. Throughout its history, The Crisis magazine remained an important voice for African Americans and a powerful force for social change.
