Du Bois
What evidence of socialist beliefs do you find in DuBois’ writing? How do you think it affected his scholarship? What misconceptions about African American history was Du Bois trying to address? What was the role of African Americans in Reconstruction according to DuBois? DuBois says the fight in the US for equality is merely a phase in a larger problem – “the problem of humanity.” (paragraph 25) What does he mean by that? Do you agree?
