William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (/ d uː ˈ b ɔɪ s / doo-BOYSS; [1] [2] February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an American sociologist, socialist, historian, and Pan-Africanist civil rights activist. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a relatively tolerant and integrated community.
The final chapters of the book are devoted to narratives of individuals.
