A Reminder of Constitutional Rights
The Portland Chapter o f NAACP celebrates the 50,h anniversary of the organization in 1964 with a sign bringing attention
to the 14th Amendment, which concludes that no state shall “deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws." The 14th Amendment was one o f three amendments to the Constitution adopted after the Civil War to
guarantee black rights. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship to people once
enslaved, and the 15th Amendment guaranteed black men the right to vote,
