America’s tortured, racist past created organizations like the National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People(NAACP). The(CLU) was founded on February 12th, 1909, in New York City, while the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) came 11-years later, on January 19th, 1920, founded in 1920, again in New York City.
A good barometer of their success is the level of attacks against these organizations, even as it is rather revealing to see the parties that attack these organizations.
The New York City Police Department(NYPD) and some of its sycophants have made themselves bitter adversaries to the ACLU) for decades now.

Since the nation’s founding, the fabric of American society has been woven with deeply racist policies, practices, and attitudes that harm Black and Indigenous people of color. These policies have led to an unequal system where white people have both implicit and explicit advantages because of the color of their skin, leading to better opportunities in jobs, education, and housing.
