    It was 105 years ago that W.E.B. Du Bois joined other activists to create the NAACP! The group chose February 12, 1909, to commemorate the 100th birthday of President Lincoln. Watch W.E.B. Du Bois' Mini Bio and see what other landmark events became part of Black History Month!

      Biography He was mixed and in one of his writings, he promoted blacks race mix with whites, then encouraged them to marry/breed with whites!!! So that america would be mixed and whites. So basically stop being black and breed ourselves into the white race! i have no respect for that as we are not the problem! search this and you will find it!

    Du Bois was an expert at whacking at the symptomatic branches of all human suffering, and his remedy was behavior and environmental modification. Demanding for reparations and promotion of entitlement.
    Booker T was a Christian man and understood that "out of the abundance of the heart", a mans life is determined, not determined by environment or one's enemies.. Proverbs 22.4

    Our enemies can not tell our history. Blacks should our own story to the next generations. W.E.B Du Boise was living in Ghana and died in Ghana, so I traveled from DC to ACCRA GHANA to visit his grave, November 2014 I was in Ghana and the my dream became reality to see Du Boise grave, his beautiful house, library,and I read a his book. The place tourist attractions place so will advise every blacks in the diaspora to go there to visit AFRICA the motherland, I built 22 apartments in Ghana for renting.
