W.E.B. DuBois Webography Compiled by Ryan Wamser Born on February 23, 1868, William Edward Burghart DuBois is seen along with Frederick Douglass, Booker T Washington, and Martin Luther King, Jr., as the four greatest black Americans in our nations history. Much like them, he was a leader of his people and was a man who sought to share fully with them through his works. DuBois attended Fisk University, Harvard University, and University of Berlin. Famous works by DuBois include The Philadelphia Negro The Souls of Black Folk The Gift of Black Folk Black Reconstruction in America Dusk of Dawn The Encyclopedia of the Negro The World and Africa , and The Education of Black People . Dubois was influential in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and he also was an editor of its magazine, The Crisis . At the turn of the century, DuBois was an advocate of black capitalism and black support of black business, but by about 1905 he had been drawn toward Socialist doctrines. Although he joined the Socialist Party only briefly in 1912, he remained sympathetic with Marxist ideas throughout the rest of his life. DuBois died on August 27,1963, in Accra, Ghana, no longer a US citizen, but a citizen of Ghana. "I believe, foolishly perhaps but sincerely, that I have something to say to the world."

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.
