Who was Moorfield Storey?

Moorfield Storey was an American lawyer, publicist, and civil rights leader. According to Storey's biographer, William B. Hixson, Jr., he had a worldview that embodied "pacifism, anti-imperialism, and racial egalitarianism fully as much as it did laissez-faire and moral tone in government." Storey served as the inaugural president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a position he held from 1909 to 1929.
