Strivings of the Negro People
William E.B DuBois established himself as the foremost African American intellectual of the Twentieth century.
A Founder of NAACP
Du Bois became a spokesperson for a more assertive stance from blacks.
Du Bois describes “double consciousness”, the sense of identity thrust upon black Americans living in a world in which white political and economic leaders assumed that to be American was to be white.
The second decade of the American negro’s freedom was a period of conflict, of inspiration and doubt, of faith and vain questionings.
Du Bois strives for education. the right to vote and civil equality.
