Which nurse is listed as founder of the NACCP in the material?

• A. Lillian Wald
• B. Mary Seacole
• C. Dorothea Dix
• D. Clara Barton

Answer: (A)

This question focuses on recognizing a nurse who profoundly advanced public health and social reform, and how that connects to civil-rights era organizations. Lillian Wald is known for founding the Henry Street Settlement and for promoting public health nursing, school nursing, and care for immigrants in urban communities. Her work helped establish nursing as a vehicle for social justice and health equity.

However, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded in 1909 by a group of reformers including Mary White Ovington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Henry Moskowitz, and Oswald Garrison Villard. If the material lists Wald as a founder of the NACCP, it’s likely a misattribution or a reference to a different organization related to civil rights and health. The important point is Wald’s landmark role in nursing and public health, not as a founder of the NAACP.
