The poster also includes a drawing of the Niagara Movement's seal in red. The poster includes a calendar with the months and days of the year shown on the left and right side. The text gives a history of the Niagara Movement and its legacy and reads: "At the turn of the 20th century, Booker T. Washington stood as the preeminent voice in black America..." The lower board is mounted with a black and white photographic image of attendees of the Niagara Movement's second meeting at Harpers Ferry in 1906. The caption below the image lists the names of the men in the image. The posters are taped to the boards with black tape.
