Du Boiso American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author and editoro After graduating from Harvard, where he was the first African American to earn a doctorate, he became a professor of history, sociology and economics at Atlanta University. o Du Bois was one of the co-founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909o Racism was the main target of Du Bois's polemics, and he strongly protested against lynching, Jim Crow laws, and discrimination in education and employment.o Du Bois published The Souls of Black Folk, a collection of 14 essays, in 1903 major theme of the work was the double consciousness that African Americans faced: Being both American and black, a unique identity which had been a handicap in the past, but could be a strength in the futureo Negro is the 7th son of the world— but America “yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world”282.o Difficult to be a laborer since whites see the Negro only as a laborer and so often halfhearted efforts.

The ideal of human brotherhood, gained…not in opposition to or contempt for other races…in order that someday on American soil two world-races may give each to each those characteristics both so sadly lack.” 287 (Pluralism)o Negro gifts: American music, American Fairy tales and folk lore, oasis of simple faith in greedy intellectualized
