Hi, my name is William Edward Burghardt DuBois. I was born February 23, 1868.
Goo goo ga ga
I worked in many career fields throughout my life. Some occupations of mine include sociologist, teacher, philosopher, photographer, human rights activist, and civil rights activist.
Before the NAACP was formed, I founded the Niagara Movement. The Niagara Movement was an organization of black intellectuals, led by me, that called for political, civil, and social rights for African Americans.
I co-founded the NAACP, an organization set on abolishing segregation and discrimination. I was also the editor of its magazine, The Crisis.
I believed in the Talented Tenth, an idea that educators should help give opportunities for one-in-ten African Americans to advance into leadership roles. This set me different from a fellow activist, who believed blacks should earn the respect of whites through hard work and financial success.
In my early career, I worked at the Atlanta University. My goal was to fight for equality in for blacks in school. I wanted to end segregation in schools and create equal opportunities in education for blacks.
I firmly believed that gaining equality for African Americans would be through providing students with a liberal arts education to develop more black leaders.
Most people knew me as W.E.B DuBois before I died on August 27, 1963, while in self-imposed exile in Ghana. This was the day before Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech. From the grave, it seems as if the color barrier has diminished greatly in education, if not completely, and black people are stepping into more leadership roles all over the country.
