On the 27th August, 1963, the day before Martin Luther King
electrified the world from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with
the immortal words, "I Have a Dream", the life of another giant of
the Civil Rights movement quietly drew to a close in Accra, Ghana:
W.E.B. Du Bois. In this new biography, Bill V. Mullen interprets
the seismic political developments of the Twentieth Century through
Du Bois's revolutionary life. Du Bois was born in Massachusetts in
1868, just three years after formal emancipation of America's
slaves. In his extraordinarily long and active political life, he
would emerge as the first black man to earn a PhD from Harvard;
surpass Booker T. Washington as the leading advocate for African
American rights; co-found the NAACP, and involve himself in anti
imperialist and anti-colonial struggles across Asia and Africa.
Beyond his Civil Rights work, Mullen also examines Du Bois's
attitudes towards socialism, the USSR, China's Communist
Revolution, and the intersectional relationship between capitalism,
poverty and racism. An accessible introduction to a towering figure
of American Civil Rights, perfect for anyone wanting to engage with
Du Bois's life and work.
