The lights on Niagara Falls will go off tonight.
The Niagara Falls Illumination Board will be turning off the nightly illumination of both the American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. tonight to show solidarity and support for the Black community and in recognition of Blackout Tuesday.
Originally started by the music industry, Blackout Tuesday is intended as a collective pause to spark honest, reflective and productive conversations about what actions can be taken to support the Black community.
