Moorfield Storey (March 19, 1845 – October 24, 1929) 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 (NAACP), a position he held from 1909 to 1929.
