W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) was an American civil rights activist, sociologist, historian, Pan-Africanist, author, and editor, and a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
His work continues to impact us today. Please join us for the first in a series of roundtable discussions about Dr. Du Bois and his relevance today hosted by his great grandson Arthur McFarlane II.
