If there is a beautiful waterfall that most of us have heard about, it would surely be the Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls is a place where water just falls down beautifully from several feet. It is a very famous place and you will see that many tourists visit this place every year. This is one place that is usually crowded during the holiday season. If you ever plan a trip either to the northern part of the U.S or south of Canada, you should surely take time out to go see the Niagara Falls. The lighting that is done is also marvelous, so when you look at the waterfalls from a particular angle, you will get the image of the water flowing in different colors. It is a truly magnificent sight. So, the best time to reach the place is late afternoon, because you can stay there till evening when the lights are switched on and enjoy it because it is, without a shadow of a doubt, an eyeful that you should not miss. Apart from the attractiveness of the Niagara Falls, it also has a little event in history that is attached to it, which is called the Niagara Movement. 
Around the early 1900's, there was an association that was created to oppose those people who gave importance to race. These people believed that they needed to stop the unnecessary racial discrimination and formed a group by spreading the word around. A few influential people in the society also joined in the Movement, which gave it more importance. These people met up with each other and discussed the flow of things for the first time near the Niagara Falls. It can be gathered that the discussions of the Niagara Movement were pretty serious because they revolved around changing the course of things in relation to racial discrimination and the members who chose to join in the movement made all possible efforts to get their intentions known. There were many things that were listed on which way the proceedings should go and also the various points on which the Niagara Movement revolved around. But the Niagara Movement lost hold somewhere on the political front because it did not receive enough support that the members had anticipated initially. There were many people who were opposed to this kind of movement due to various reasons. But, in all, one can gauge that it was an important movement in history.
