On this day in Labor History the year was 1905. That was the day that revolutionary black scholar W.E.B. DuBois helped found the Niagara Movement. It was named for the “mighty current” of change the group hoped to bring about. The initial organizing meeting was held near Niagara Falls, New York.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Niagara Movement evolved into the NAACP!

Sounds like One Big Union!

Courage brothers! The battle for humanity is not lost or losing. All across the skies sit signs of promise. The Slav is raising in his might, the yellow millions are tasting liberty, the black Africans are writhing toward the light, and everywhere the laborer, with ballot in his hand, is voting open the gates of Opportunity and Peace. The morning breaks over blood-stained hills. We must not falter, we may not shrink. Above are the everlasting stars.
