The National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) is a name that has been used for several white nationalist organizations in the United States,[1] deriving its name from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.[2]

The first organization was originally incorporated on December 14, 1953 in Delaware by Bryant Bowles. The following year an article was written on the organization by Time magazine.[3] In September 1955, the Deputy Attorney General of Delaware took action to revoke its corporate charter.

In 1979 David Duke left the Ku Klux Klan and incorporated a new group taking the name of the defunct National Association for the Advancement of White People.[4] It was headquartered in Metairie in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans.

The group has been considered by civil rights advocacy group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, to be a racist organization who distribute "their own hateful propaganda" to white schoolchildren in America.[5]

The organization's views included opposition to affirmative action programs and a strong law and order stance, such as favoring the death penalty and three strikes laws. Its official slogan is: "Equal Rights For All — Special Privileges For None." The slogan was presumably taken from the seventh of the Ocala Demands of the United States Populist (or People's) Party of 1890.
