About Southern Burlington County NAACP
This historic NAACP chapter, which received its charter on May 9, 1966, was at the forefront of Southern Burlington County NAACP vs. Mt. Laurel (known as the Mt. Laurel Doctrine). This landmark case requires municipalities to use their zoning powers in an affirmative manner to provide a realistic opportunity for the production of affordable housing to low and moderate income households. This landmark case is considered one of the most significant social justice and civil rights cases, next to Brown v. Board of Education. Visit us at www.sbcnaacp.org.
