Source: Library of Congress Van Vechten Collection Described variously as the "most outspoken civil rights activist in America," "the undisputed intellectual leader of a new generation of African- American, and " the central authorizing figure for twentieth-century African-American thought," Du Bois was the inspiration for the literary movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. As a co-founder of the NAACP and the long-time editor of its magazine The Crisis , Du Bois nurtured and promoted many young and talented African-Americans. Underlying his controversial notion of "the talented tenth," was his belief that true integration will happen when selected blacks excel in the literature and the fine arts.

WILLIAM EDWARD BURGHARDT DU BOIS
A uthor, journalist, social reformer, activist, poet, philosopher, and educator W.E.B. Du Bois wielded one of the most influential pens in African-American history. For sixty-six years he functioned not only as a mentor, model, and spokesman for generations of black Americans but also as the conscience of black and white Americans alike who yearned for racial equality and social justice.
Born in 1868 during the painful period of Reconstruction, Du Bois was graduated from Fisk University in 1888 and went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1895 before entering the worlds of academe and activism. Using Atlanta University as his base from 1897-1910, he opposed Booker T. Washington's educational views as too limiting, preferring to organize young black intellectuals in the Niagara Movement. In 1909 he founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and in 1910 launched its historic magazine, THE CRISIS. During this period he also published his classic treatise, THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK (1903), the best known of many passionate and well-argued philosophical and sociological studies of his race, which also included THE PHILADELPHIA NEGRO, JOHN BROWN, THE GIFT OF BLACK FOLK, BLACK RECONSTRUCTION, COLOR AND DEMOCRACY: COLONIES AND PEACE.
THE CRISIS
At the height of the Harlem Renaissance Du Bois was a familiar presence in New York. A prime mover in that fast-paced, exciting cultural explosion, Du Bois extended a helping hand to many of his younger colleagues, publishing in the pages of THE CRISIS the best poetry and prose of African-American writers, among them

William Edward Burghardt DuBois
Civil Rights Activist, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Founding Member An outstanding critic, editor, scholar, author, and civil rights leader, W. E. B. Du Bois is certainly among the most influential blacks of the twentieth century. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on February 23, 1868, Du Bois received a bachelor's degree from Fisk University and went on to earn second bachelors, as well as a Ph.D., from Harvard. He was for a time professor of Latin and Greek at Wilberforce and the University of Pennsylvania, and also served as a professor of economics and history at Atlanta University. One of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909, Du Bois served as that organization's director of publications and editor of Crisis magazine until 1934.

W.E.B. Du Bois
At the turn of the twentieth century, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, the most outspoken civil rights activist in America, committed himself to a style of political leadership which emphasized that, in order for African Americans to survive the inordinate stress and cruelty of racial discrimination, they had to make a “...determined attempt at self-development, self-realization, in spite of environing discouragement and prejudice.” The style called upon African Americans to seek full exercise of civil rights in the United States through militant protest and agitation.
Du Bois’s posture met with little popularity, for it was at the time that the nation had witnessed the undermining of the “Reconstruction Amendments”—which had given blacks the legal prerogatives of the vote, access to public facilities and services, and equal rights under the law—by the 1896 Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Fergusson

Contributing Editor: Frederick Woodard
Questions for Reading and Discussion/Approaches to Writing
"The Song of the Smoke" is a poem of celebration of blackness. It was written during a period of great social and political weakness of black people. List the attributes of blackness celebrated in the poem and suggest how each attribute contributes to a positive image. Consider why Du Bois may have felt it necessary to write of blackness in such exalted terms. Ask students to characterize the effect of verbal repetition, rhythm, and variation of line length in the poem. How do these characteristics relate to the central metaphor, "smoke"? "The Damnation of Women" is an expression of Du Bois's concern for the right of women to choose for themselves the life worth living. What is the basis for this belief? How does this belief relate to feminism? What role, in Du Bois's estimation, does economics play in the subordination of women? What specific details indicate Du Bois's appreciation for independent thinking and action in women? Select an edition of the volume The Souls of Black Folk and peruse the beginning of each chapter. Find lines of poetry and a musical score. Consider the possible significance of these two art forms to the major theme of the book. Note that "Of the Sorrow Songs" contains comments on the music and names the songs.

He was educated at Fisk University, Harvard, and in Germany, receiving a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1895. His subsequent career involved several academic posts at Atlanta University, during which he wrote such works as The Souls of Black Folk, John Brown, Black Reconstruction in America, and Dusk of Dawn. He divided his Atlanta University appointments with an extended tenure at the NAACP both in administration and as editor of its magazine, Crisis. Late in his life he was drawn into support for Communism, convinced that it was the only way to secure equal rights for black Americans. He left the United States in 1961 to live in Ghana, became a citizen of that country two years later, and died shortly thereafter in 1963. Christopher Hill

Du Bois, W.E.B. W.E.B. Du Bois, pronounced doo BOYS, (1868-1963), was one of the most important leaders of African American protest in the United States. During the first half of the 1900's, he became the leading black opponent of racial discrimination. He also won fame as a historian and sociologist. Historians still use Du Bois' research on blacks in American society. Du Bois was probably the first African American to express the idea of Pan-Africanism. Pan-Africanism is the belief that all people of African descent have common interests and that they should work together to conquer prejudice. In 1900, Du Bois predicted that humanity's chief problem of the new century would be "the color line."
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He graduated from Fisk University in 1888. In 1895, he became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. degree at Harvard University. From 1897 to 1910, Du Bois taught history and economics at Atlanta University. He attended the First Pan-African Conference in London in 1900. He later organized Pan-African conferences in Europe and the United States. Du Bois received the Spingarn Medal in 1920.

One ever feels his twoness an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. Throughout history, the powers of single blacks flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness. Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life. If there is anybody in this land who thoroughly believes that the meek shall inherit the earth they have not often let their presence be known.

We saved it in France, and by the Great Jehovah, we will save it in the United States of America, or know the reason why.
W.E.B. Du Bois, who lived in a now demolished house on this site for the first 17 years of his life, was a voice that inspired African Americans to believe in themselves and to fight for justice. Du Bois felt a special bond to the Great Barrington property, which had been in his family for more than 200 years. During his adult life he frequently used it as a retreat. He was a sage who motivated black activists to use "organization"not "apology"against white oppression. Du Bois' 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk especially the essay "The Talented Tenth"established his reputation as a writer.
