W. E. B. Du Bois
Biography Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and educated at Fisk, Harvard, and the University of Berlin, W. E. B. Du Bois was a teacher and writer. He began his career at Wilberforce College in Ohio, then a small, poor, black college, moving later to the University of Pennsylvania and, finally, to Atlanta University, where he devoted thirteen years to researching and writing sociological studies of African American life. As expressed in his influential work The Souls of Black Folk (1903), Du Bois's philosophy differed radically from that of Booker T. Washington , the founder of the Tuskegee Institute, who recommended, in his Atlanta Exposition Address (1895), that blacks settle for a lesser education and accept segregation in exchange for a tolerant attitude from whites. Du Bois joined the Niagara Movement in 1905 and worked aggressively toward achieving civil rights for African Americans. He moved to New York in 1910 and spent the next twenty-five years as editor of Crisis , the publication for the new organization, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Du Bois grew increasingly frustrated with the little progress African Americans were making and began to move toward Pan African and socialist thought. He joined the Communist Party of the United States in 1961 and became a citizen of Ghana in 1963.

Sidelights

"Sidelights" W. E. B. Du Bois was at the vanguard of the civil rights movement in America. Of French and African descent, Du Bois grew up in Massachusetts and did not begin to comprehend the problems of racial prejudice until he attended Fisk University in Tennessee. Later he was accepted at Harvard, but while he was at that institution he voluntarily segregated himself from white students. Trained as a sociologist, Du Bois began to document the oppression of black people and their strivings for equality in the 1890s. By 1903 he had learned enough to state in The Souls of Black Folk that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line," and he spent the remainder of his long life trying to break down racial barriers. The Souls of Black Folk was not well received when it first came out. Houston A. Baker Jr. explained in his

Born in Massachusetts of French, Dutch, and Black ancestry, Du Bois recognized and took pride in his African heritage above all. He was very successful in school, winning scholarships that took him to the American south and to Europe. Along the way, he took an interest in political economy, history, sociology, and African American studies, in particular. Before he was thirty years old, he had earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University, becoming the first African American to do so. Later, as a professor, he continued his own studies and began to make his views more known through his efforts.
For instance, in the interest of informing all Americans about how he perceived African Americans, Du Bois wrote a book entitled

W. E. B. duBois William Edward Burghardt DuBois was one of this country's most distinguished educators. Born in a small village in Massachusetts in 1868, DuBois first came face to face with the realities of racism in 19th century America while attending Fisk University in Nashville. It was while completing his graduate studies at Harvard that DuBois wrote an exhaustive study of the history of the slave trade one that is still considered one of the most comprehensive on that subject. In 1895 he was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Hravard University. In 1897, DuBois took a position with Atlanta University. During his tenure there he conducted extensive studies of the social conditions of blacks in America. At the 1900 Paris World's Fair, DuBois created a full-scale exhibit of African American achievement since the Emancipation Procamation in industrial work, literature, and journalism. It included photodocumentation on educational institutions such as Tuskeegee, Fisk, and Howard. Congress approved of $15,000 for installation, and it was installed - off midway and in the Social Economy section of the Liberal Arts building where it languished compared with the negative Midway exhibits. In 1903 he wrote The Souls of Black Folk (which may be read online here ) which serves as the underpinning of access to many of his ideas.

W.E.B. Dubois
Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.
W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt) Dubois
was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was one of the most influential black leaders of the first half of the 20th Century. Dubois shared in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP, in 1909. He served as its director of research and editor of its magazine, "Crisis," until 1934. Dubois was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1896. Between 1897 and 1914 Dubois conducted numerous studies of black society in America, publishing 16 research papers. He began his investigations believing that social science could provide answers to race problems. Gradually he concluded that in a climate of virulent racism, social change could only be accomplished by agitation and protest. At the turn of the century Dubois had been a supporter of black capitalism. Throughout his career he moved steadily to the political left. By 1905 he had been drawn to socialist ideas and remained sympathetic to Marxism throughout his life. Dubois acted in support of integration and equal rights for everyone regardless of race, but his thinking often exhibited a degree of black separatist-nationalist tendencies. In 1961 Dubois became completely disillusioned with the United States. He moved to Ghana, joined the Communist Party, and a year later renounced his American Citizenship.
