Fort Erie Public Library and BTPM PBS look forward to showing the documentary, "The Niagara Movement: The Early Battle for Civil Rights," at the Centennial branch on Monday, July 14th.
BTPM PBS will be present to introduce the film and answer any questions you may have following the viewing. 

The documentary, "The Niagara Movement: The Early Battle for Civil Rights", explores Black intellectual society at the turn of the century, a class rarely presented. It examines the heated debate among Black elite on how to best uplift the race. It captures the conflict between Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois who found themselves on opposite sides of how to secure equality for their community.
