Harpers Ferry Symposium on Niagara Movement
Centennial registration opened
From Jean Libby, June 08, 2006
Dear scholars,
Pre Registration for the August 16 - 18 [Harpers Ferry Symposium on the
Niagara Movement] conference is ready now.
The people at Harpers Ferry have been working hard to prepare an
excellent conference in commemoration of the 1906 Niagara Movement
Convention, the second annual event.
At the same time, W.E.B. Du Bois was working on his biography of John
Brown, which was under contract but not completed (for various reasons)
until 1909.
This was a very formative time for the scholar and activist Du Bois, as
well as many in this organization.
Hope to see many John Brown scholars there.

Editor's Note: I am sorry to report that Jean Libby died on August 11, 2023. Jean contributed much material to the Afrolumens Project over the years, particularly on the subject of John Brown. As of this wriring, her website "Allies for Freedom" no longer appears to be online. Her commentary, historical insights and activism will be missed.
