Moorfield Storey
Moorfield Storey (March 19, 1845 – October 24, 1929) was an American lawyer, anti-imperial activist, and
civil rights leader based in
Boston, Massachusetts. According to Storey's biographer, William B. Hixson Jr., he had a worldview that embodied "
pacifism,
anti-imperialism, and racial
egalitarianism fully as much as it did
laissez-faire and moral tone in government." Storey served as the founding president of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), serving from 1909 to his death in 1929. He opposed United States expansionism beginning with the
Spanish–American War.
