Members of the Niagara Movement, founded in 1905 by W.E.B. Du Bois and others, advocated for civil rights and opposed the gradualism of Booker T. Washington's approach to racial issues. They called for immediate political and social equality, denounced racial discrimination, and emphasized the importance of higher education for African Americans. The Movement sought to challenge segregation and promote a more militant stance against racism, laying the groundwork for future civil rights activism.
