Forward to a colleague World History product page Du Bois, W. E. B. American writer and educator William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was one of the most important African American leaders in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. He made significant contributions as a journalist, sociologist, historian, novelist, pamphleteer, civil rights leader, and teacher. Among his many publications are sociological studies as well as studies of the slave trade (1896), John Brown (1909), and Reconstruction (1935). Du Bois was born on February 23, 1868, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In 1884, he graduated from Great Barrington High School as valedictorian of his class. In 1888, Du Bois graduated from Fisk College in Nashville, Tennessee. It was while in Tennessee that Du Bois first experienced overt racial discrimination. Du Bois earned a second bachelor’s degree (1890) and a master of arts degree (1892) from Harvard University. From 1892 to 1893, he studied at the University of Berlin, where he was greatly influenced by the socialist scholar Edward Bernstein. Du Bois remained sympathetic to Marxism for the rest of his life. In 1895, W. E. B. Du Bois was awarded the first doctorate to be granted to an African American by Harvard. His doctoral dissertation, “The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America, 1638–1870,” was published in 1896. It constitutes a pioneering application of economic analysis to history. Previous studies of slavery had given little attention to slavery’s indissoluble connection to the cotton market.

His father, Alfred Du Bois, left his mother, Mary Silvina Burghardt, soon after his birth. When his mother died in 1884 Du Bois was forced to find work at a timekeeper in a local mill. Encouraged by Frank Hosmer, the principal of Great Barrington High School, Du Bois won a scholarship to Fisk University in Nashville. To help pay for his studies Du Bois taught in rural Tennessee during summer vacations. This gave him first-hand experience of Jim Crow laws and turned him into a civil rights activist. After graduating in 1885 Du Bois spent two years at the University of Berlin before return ing to the United States. Du Bois now had a strong interest in African American history and went to Harvard University to work on his dissertation, The Suppression of the African Slave Trade . In 1895 Du Bois became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard. In 1897 Du Bois began teaching economics and history at Atlanta University and in 1903 published his g round-breaking The Souls of Black Folks . This included an attack on Booker T. Washington

W.E.B. Du Bois "The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." (1922) (Du Bois, 1918 Photo) Born Feb. 23, 1868, Great Barrington, Mass., U.S.Died Aug. 27, 1963, Accra, Ghana. American sociologist, arguably the most significant black leader in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. He shared in the creation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909 and edited Crisis , its magazine, from 1910 to 1934. Late in life he became identified with efforts by Communist movements and governments. Early career Du Bois was graduated from Fisk University, in Nashville, Tenn., in 1888. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1895. His doctoral dissertation, The Suppression of the African Slave-Trade to the United States of America, 1638-1870, was published in 1896. Although Du Bois took an advanced degree in history, he was broadly trained in the social sciences; and at a time when sociologists were theorizing about race relations, he was conducting empirical inquiries into the condition of blacks. For more than a decade he devoted himself to sociological investigations of blacks in America, producing 16 research monographs published between 1897 and 1914 at Atlanta University, where he was a professor, as well as The Philadelphia Negro; A Social Study (1899), the first case study of a black community in the United States.

Home Page 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.

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 during his boyhood, 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. The property was given to Du Bois as a 60th birthday gift in 1928. 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. He wrote more than 20 books and hundreds of essays and pamphlets, covering topics ranging from history, to education, to segregation, to poor housing, and to the subjugation of black women.

(Note: Sample material is taken from uncorrected proofs. Changes may be made prior to publication.) Du Bois W. E. B. Historian, sociologist, political activist, editor, essayist, novelist, poet, and prophet, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois stands as one of the towering figures in American history. In a public career encompassing three-quarters of a century, Du Bois delivered eloquent, trenchant, occasionally contradictory commentary on what he called "the problem of the Twentieth Century . . . the problem of the color line." In the 1920s, he played a central role in the unfolding drama of the Harlem Renaissance, initially as an inspiration and patron, later as an increasingly captious critic. Du Bois was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in 1868. His origins were humble. His mother, Mary, worked odd jobs, mostly as a domestic servant, before suffering a paralytic stroke; he scarcely knew his father, Alfred, who had abandoned the family. Still, Du Bois remembered his childhood as happy, a more or less "typically New England" upbringing, only occasionally ruffled by the racial realities of post-Reconstruction America. He flourished in Great Barrington's public schools, exhibiting even in these early days the qualities that would distinguish his life and art: a voracious intellect, a romantic imagination, and an overweening (though, in retrospect, quite justified) sense of his own historical importance.

Blum shopping cart A volume in the Politics and Culture in Modern America series View table of contents Pioneering historian, sociologist, editor, novelist, poet, and organizer, W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the foremost African American intellectuals of the twentieth century. While Du Bois is remembered for his monumental contributions to scholarship and civil rights activism, the spiritual aspects of his work have been misunderstood, even negated. W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet , the first religious biography of this leader, illuminates the spirituality that is essential to understanding his efforts and achievements in the political and intellectual world. Often labeled an atheist, Du Bois was in fact deeply and creatively involved with religion. Historian Edward J. Blum reveals how spirituality was central to Du Bois's approach to Marxism, pan-Africanism, and nuclear disarmament, his support for black churches, and his reckoning of the spiritual wage of white supremacy. His writings, teachings, and prayers served as articles of faith for fellow activists of his day, from student book club members to Langston Hughes.

Du Bois Writer Social Reformer Name at birth: William Edward Burghardt DuBois Scholar and political activist W.E.B. Du Bois helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). DuBois attended Harvard University and in 1895 became the first African-American to receive a doctorate from the school. He became a university professor, a prolific writer and a pioneering social scientist on the topic of black culture. DuBois particularly disagreed with black leaders such as Booker T. Washington who urged integration into white society; Du Bois championed global African unity and (especially in later years) separatism. He distilled his views in his famous 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk . In 1909 he was a founding member of the NAACP, an organization promoting progress and social equality for blacks. Du Bois continued for decades as a strong public voice on behalf of African-Americans. In the 1950s he clashed with the federal government over his support for labor, his public appreciations of the Soviet Union, and his demands that nuclear weapons be outlawed. He emigrated to Ghana in 1961 and became a citizen of that country shortly before his death in 1963. The Autobiography of W.E.B. DuBois

In 1890 he graduated cum laude from Harvard University and attended the University of Berlin in 1892. In 1896 Du Bois became the first Black person to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University. After teaching at Wilberforce University in Ohio and the University of Pennsylvania, he went on to establish the first department of sociology in the United States at Atlanta University. Dr. Du Bois was the author of scores of significant books, including three major autobiographies. Among his most important works were The Philadelphia Negro in 1896, Souls of Black Folk in 1903, John Brown in 1909, Black Reconstruction in 1935, and Black Folk, Then and Now in 1939. His book, The Negro (first published in 1915), significantly influenced the lives of such pioneer Africanist scholars as Drusilla Dunjee Houston and William Leo Hansberry. In 1940 DuBois founded Phylona magazine published out of Atlanta University. Dr. DuBois also authored The World and Africa: An Inquiry Into the Part that Africa has Played in World History, a very important work first published in 1946. In 1945 he played a major role at the historic Fifth Pan-African Conference held in Manchester, England.
