The NAACP is the largest and preeminent civil rights organization leading the fight for equal opportunity and social justice in America. The NAACP Hollywood Bureau has been a stalwart advocate in the entertainment industries, for equitable opportunity and authentic representations that reflect diverse communities.
The Bureau is growing and pursuing these objectives with innovative and bold purpose. In addition to presenting the NAACP Image Awards, the Bureau provides cultural consultations, talent development programs, and creates industry publications.
With the generous support of the Golden Globe Foundation, the Bureau is launching NAACP+ Studios and sponsoring a journalism internship program for several HBCU students. The Bureau is also expanding its national outreach program, Be In The Biz, designed to export the insights of Hollywood operatives to remote markets filled with creative storytellers.
NAACP+ Studios serves the production needs of the Association, as well as external constituents in need of technical support. The facilities include a virtual studio, podcast studio, post-production suite, and screening room.
The NAACP/HBCU-in-LA Journalism Internship program identifies and prepares HBCU students to pursue and master the requisite skills of the profession.
The Be In The Biz program produces day-long symposia featuring Hollywood thought leaders in cities across the country.
