The Niagara Falls Illumination Board decided to turn off the nightly illumination for one-hour last night, as a show of solidarity and support for the Black community.
The American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls went dark from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in honour of Blackout Tuesday.
Blackout Tuesday was organized by members of the music industry in support of the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Celebrities and everyday people also posted black squares on their social media pages in response to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
