  5. Three things I learned • The most interesting part of my research was finding out how it got started and the women who started the organization • This information enhances my understanding of the Jim Crow laws because it tells me more about what black people had to go through back then and their limitations and their mistreatment s and how it eventually led. To organizations like this and the civil rights movement • For this presentation I decided to include the main points about he NACW like what is it , how it was formed , the people behind the start of the organization, and what the organization does and their mission
