W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent African American scholar and civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP and was a leading voice in the fight for racial equality in the early 20th century. He was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University and authored numerous influential works, including "The Souls of Black Folk," which critiqued racism and advocated for the education of African Americans. Du Bois also emphasized the importance of the "Talented Tenth," the idea that a leadership class would uplift the African American community. His accomplishments significantly shaped the discourse on race and civil rights in the United States.
