The early part of the twentieth century was a low point for African Americans, with lynchings reported every week and murderous race riots in places like Brownsville, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. The government did nothing.
Blacks began to organize. In 1905 W. E. B. Du Bois—a respected teacher and author who was sympathetic to the socialists—called black leaders to a meeting in Canada, near Niagara Falls. This was the start of the “Niagara Movement.” Five years later, a race riot in Springfield, Illinois, led to the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Whites dominated this new group. Du Bois was the only black officer. The NAACP focused on education and legal action to end racism, but Du Bois represented the Niagara Movement’s strong spirit of activism.
