NAACP

In 1905, a group of 32 prominent, outspoken African Americans met to discuss the challenges facing “people of color” in the U.S. and possible strategies and solutions. Because hotels in the U.S. were segregated, the men convened, under the leadership of Harvard scholar W.E.B. DuBois, at a hotel situated on the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls . As a result, the group came to be known as the Niagara Movement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is one of the oldest and most influential civil rights organizations in the United States . It was founded February 12, 1909 to work on behalf of African Americans.
