The Second Meeting of the Niagara Movement - Harpers Ferry, WV - Civil Rights Memorials on Waymarking.com

The plaque says, "We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social, and until we get these rights we will never cease to protest and assail the ears of America. The battle we wage is not for ourselves alone but for all true Americans.
W.E.B. Du Bois, speaking at Storer College

In 1906, a black civil rights organization called the Niagara Movement held its second annual meeting on the Storer College campus. The conference organizers carefully chose the location of the movement's first meeting on American soil. They selected Harpers Ferry for its rich history, including the John Brown raid to end slavery, and Storer College for its commitment to education for people of all races.
