John Brown Monument; with John Browns Fort behind it and St Peters Roman Catholic Church in the distance. Sign Reads: Commemorated here is the original location of the ‘John Brown Fort’ – the Federal Armory’s fire-engine house, where abolitionist John Brown and his raiders were captured by US Marines on October 18, 1859. If you look to the south you will see the Fort almost 150 feet from here. The Fort was first moved in 1892 and its original foundation covered by the railroad in 1892. Storer College may be seen in the distance, with a plaque dedicated to John Brown, which reads: Here John Brown aimed at human slavery a blow that woke a guilty nation. With him fought seven slaves and sons of slaves. Over his crucified corpse marched 200,000 Black soldiers and freedmen singing “John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave but his soul goes marching on!” In gratitude this tablet is erected the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, May 21, 1932 The exterior of Anthony Hall at Storer College, nearby signs describing it and the Niagara Movement read: Storer College Established in 1867 by Freewill Baptists as part of an effort to educate freedmen after the Civil War, it was the only college open to African Americans in the WV prior to 1891. The Niagara Movement, the precursor of the NAACP, held its 2nd conference there in 1906. The school lost state funding in 1954 and closed in 1955. It was listed on the National Register in 2001. The Niagara Movement Here, on August 15-19, 1906, on the Storer College campus, the Niagara Movement held their first open and public meeting on American soil. Organized by W. E. B. Du Bois and others a year earlier in Erie Beach, Ontario, Canada, the Niagara Movement became the cornerstone of the modern civil rights movement and was the forerunner to the NAACP.
