- Summary:
- W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) was a sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist who was a leader in the fight for racial equality. His work transformed how society viewed Black Americans. His 95 years were nothing short of extraordinary. He studied at Fisk University, Harvard, and the University of Berlin. As a scholar, he played a pivotal role in shaping modern Sociology. As an activist, he co-founded the NAACP. As a writer, he produced some of the most profound prose of the Twentieth Century, including The Souls of Black Folk and Black Reconstruction. As a public intellectual, Du Bois relentlessly fought against injustice, inequality, and prejudice through debates, speeches, editorials, and essays. As a propagandist, he challenged the prevailing assumptions of his era with powerful rhetoric and evocative imagery.
