W.e.b. Du Bois

Perhaps no one expressed the aspirations of black America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries better or more eloquently than William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. His voice and his pen forced Americans to confront the issue of civil rights and address the racial hatred that tortured the nation. An intellectual, writer, scholar, and political activist, Du Bois is remembered as the cofounder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the author of more than two dozen major books and essays.
