History: A brief history of the Chester Branch NAACP from the April 21, 2006 Annual Awards Dinner program book:

The Chester Branch NAACP, one of the oldest branches of the National Association, has a rich heritage dating back to 1910. We are proud to say that this is our 96th year in existence. The founder and first president was Ruth L. Bennett. The first meeting was held at the Ruth L. Bennett Home for Women, Second and Reaney Streets, Chester, PA. Several prominent national Negro women were present, namely, Mary McCleod Bethune and Daisy Lampkins.
