Join us for a special screening of the Buffalo Toronto Public Media original production, The Niagara Movement: The Early Battle for Civil Rights at The Buffalo History Museum on Wednesday, February 5, at 6 pm. After the film, we will hear from guest speaker Dr. LaGarrett King.
Dr. LaGarrett King is an Associate Professor of Social Studies Education and Founding Director of the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. He researches the teaching and learning of Black history, racial theories, and curriculum history.
The Niagara Movement: The Early Battle for Civil Rights explores the story of a groundbreaking civil rights organization founded in 1905 near Niagara Falls. Led by W.E.B. Du Bois and other visionaries, the Niagara Movement boldly challenged racial injustice and demanded equal rights for African Americans during an era of widespread discrimination. This compelling documentary highlights the group's significant influence on the fight for racial equality and its role in shaping the foundation of the modern civil rights movement.
Admission to the museum is pay what you wish.
