More on W. E. B. Du Bois
Description from Wikipedia:
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (pronounced: /duːˈbɔɪs/ doo-BOYSS) (February 23, 1868 August 27, 1963) was an American civil rights activist, public intellectual, Pan-Africanist, professor of sociology, historian, writer, and editor. At the age of 95, in 1963, he became a naturalized citizen of Ghana.
David Levering Lewis, a biographer, wrote, "In the course of his long, turbulent career, W. E. B. Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism— scholarship, propaganda, integration, national self-determination, human rights, cultural and economic separatism, politics, international communism, expatriation, third world solidarity."
In 2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante listed W. E. B. Du Bois on his list of 100 Greatest African Americans.
