America's premier legal organization fighting for racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education.
关于我们
LDF is the nation’s first and foremost civil and human rights law organization. Since its founding under the leadership of Thurgood Marshall in 1940, LDF has been committed to transforming this nation’s promise of racial equity and justice into reality for all Americans. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans. Working in the areas of criminal justice, economic justice, education, and political participation, we seek to diminish the role of race in the criminal justice system; increase fairness and participation in all aspects of economic life; increase equity in education; and achieve full civic engagement and participation in the democratic process for all Americans. We use litigation, advocacy, educational outreach, monitoring of federal and state government activity, coalition building, and policy research to achieve our goals. Additionally, through our scholarship, fellowship, and internship programs, we help students attend and graduate from many of the nation’s best institutions of higher education. "The NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund is simply the best civil rights law firm in American history." - President Obama

Congratulations to Dr. OiYan Poon, Education Equity Fellow at LDF's Thurgood Marshall Institute, on the release of her book “Asian American Is Not a Color: Conversations on Race, Affirmative Action, and Family” (Beacon Press, 2024). Dr. Poon's book provides an empathetic, passionate exploration of the pivotal role of Asian Americans in shaping the future of race relations through debates over education policies like affirmative action. At LDF, Dr. Poon has served as a lead co-author of amicus briefs defending diversity and race-conscious admissions, where she made significant contributions to federal court cases, including the SFFA v. Harvard case before the U.S. Supreme Court. We are so proud of her and encourage everyone to purchase or borrow her book from your local bookstores and libraries!
