The Crisis was an integral element of the struggle to combat
racism in America. As editor of the magazine (1910 1934), W. E. B.
Du Bois addressed the important issues facing African Americans. He
used the journal as a means of racial uplift, celebrating the joys
and hopes of African American culture and life, and as a tool to
address the injustices black Americans experienced the sorrows of
persistent discrimination and racial terror, and especially the
crime of lynching. The written word was not sufficient. Visual
imagery was central to bringing his message to the homes of readers
and emphasizing the importance of the cause. Art was integral to
his political program. Art in Crisis: W. E. B. Du Bois and the
Struggle for African American Identity and Memory reveals how W. E.
B. Du Bois created a "visual vocabulary" to define a new collective
memory and historical identity for African Americans."
