His childhood in New England was a happy one until he experienced his first rejection because he was a Negro, when he was sharply snubbed by a newcomer at a school party. This incident helped set the course of a gifted youth's life. He became determined to establish a record of excellence in all of his school activities. At the age of sixteen, he graduated from college preparatory school with honors. Because of the influence of his mother and one of his teachers, he went to Fisk University instead of Harvard , where he had planned to study.

Home Timeline Exhibition For Teachers Resources William Edward Burghardt DuBois (1868-1963) writer, historian and teacher DuBois's book The Souls of Black Folks, is his sociological study of African Americans. The book was printed in 28 editions and translated broadly. Along with Dr. Alain Locke, Du Bois urged African-American artists in the 1920s to create from the experiences of African-American folk life and to celebrate their ancient African cultural heritage. The cover illustration shown on The Crisis: A Record of the Darker Races, was done by Aaron Douglas. Douglas was an artist who followed DuBois' and Locke's doctrine. His works frequently adorned the covers of literary works of the Harlem Renaissance period. DuBois organized the first four Pan-African congresses, and was special minister and envoy at the inauguration of the President of Liberia. He taught at Wilberforce and Atlanta Universities and edited several publications which were significant contributions to the field of social sciences. Outspoken on many issues, he was considered the Father of Pan Africanism and he urged the British to "give the rights of responsible government" to the black colonies of Africa and the West Indies. One of his most famous and prophetic quotes is that "the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line." DuBois became a resident of Ghana at the invitation of President Kwame Nkrumah. He died there in 1963 at the age of 95.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) W.E.B. DuBois William Edward Burghardt DuBois was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, on February 23, 1868. Born to Alfred and Mary DuBois, he was an only child. In his early childhood his parents separated, and he remained with his mother until her death in 1884. The community in which he lived comprised a population of approximately 5,000 whites and about 50 black people. Vindictive attitudes toward the black people added to DuBois' already troubled life. Despite many hardships, DuBois became an excellent student and he was hired as the local correspondent for the New York Globe . Through editorials and lectures, he emphasized the need for black people to be politically recognized. Naturally gifted intellectually, he surpassed his peers and in 1883 graduated as the sole black student from Great Barrington High School. DuBois earned a partial scholarship to Fisk University in Nashville and enrolled at the tender age of 15. In the following three years he witnessed endemic discrimination and became more determined to expedite social justice for black people. Also during that time, he became a writer, editor, and passionate speaker on racism. While attending Fisk, DuBois saw first hand the poverty of his people in the South as well as the ignorant prejudices held against them. He elected to teach at a county school because he perceived a deep desire for knowledge among his students, and he wanted to learn all that he could about racial problems in America. He earned his B.A. degree and graduated from Fisk in 1888.

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 Havard 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.

W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt) Dubois was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was one of the most influential black leaders of the first half of the 20th Century. Dubois shared in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP, in 1909. He served as its director of research and editor of its magazine, "Crisis," until 1934. Dubois was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1896. Between 1897 and 1914 Dubois conducted numerous studies of black society in America, publishing 16 research papers. He began his investigations believing that social science could provide answers to race problems. Gradually he concluded that in a climate of virulent racism, social change could only be accomplished by agitation and protest. At the turn of the century Dubois had been a supporter of black capitalism. Throughout his career he moved steadily to the political left. By 1905 he had been drawn to socialist ideas and remained sympathetic to Marxism throughout his life. Dubois acted in support of integration and equal rights for everyone regardless of race, but his thinking often exhibited a degree of black separatist-nationalist tendencies. In 1961 Dubois became completely disillusioned with the United States. He moved to Ghana, joined the Communist Party, and a year later renounced his American Citizenship.
