The NAACP Shreveport Branch was chartered in 1914 and is the oldest chartered Unit in Louisiana (although The Crisis, the NAACP magazine, suggests it might have been active earlier).

The 1930s saw the rise of national organizations including the National Council of Negro Women, the Southern Negro Youth Congress, and the National Negro Congress, which paved the way for African American activism in the decades that followed and leading up to the civil rights movement.
