Members of the Niagara Movement meeting in Harpers Ferry.
Many African-Americans responded to racism and racial violence by organizing and struggling for their rights. In 1906, the Niagara Movement, a militant black civil rights organization, held its second meeting in Harpers Ferry -- the site of John Brown's Raid in 1859. Members of the Niagara Movement helped form the NAACP in 1909. |
