Niagara Movement Founded

Founded by a group of African American men including W. E. B. DuBois and William Monroe Trotter near Niagra Falls.The movement focused on the fight for civil rights but had trouble securing funding since it was rather militant. This movement would be the forerunner to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a.k.a the NAACP, which DuBois would also help found.
