In task 2, the NAACP has really navigated policy and advocating systems especially when looking at their legal victories in the courts. “Some court cases that NAACP won included: Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and Fair Housing Act of 1968” (NAACP, 2015b). The NAACP saw a need for social justice and used their power for change on the federal, state, and local level. “Task 3 is the agenda-setting task, practitioners gauge whether the context is favorable for a policy initiative, and they evolve early strategy to place it on policy makers’ agendas” (Jansson, B.
