What happened
In 1919, Anne Spencer became actively involved with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

This involvement provided her with a platform to advocate for change and connect with other activists.
Literary impact
Her work with the NAACP not only influenced her poetic themes but also reinforced her identity as a socially conscious writer. The experiences she gained through activism enriched her poetry, allowing her to address the complexities of race and gender in her work more profoundly.
