‎Du Bois, W. E. Burghardt‎

‎The Gift of Black Folk: The Negroes in the Making of America‎

‎New York. 1970. September 1970. Washington Square Press. 1st Washington Square Press Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 067147832x. Introduction by Truman Nelson. 203 pages. paperback. 47832. keywords: African American Literature History America. DESCRIPTION - Explorers inventors soldiers artists writers a people of great spirit - Black folk throughout history have played an instrumental role in shaping American society and culture. A proud and determined thinker W. E. B. Du Bois began the movement for Black studies. In his words: �The American Negro is and has been a distinct asset to this country. � THE GIFT OF BLACK FOLK is the story of a heroic people. It should be required reading for every American. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois February 23 1868 - August 27 1963 was a black civil rights activist leader Pan-Africanist sociologist educator historian writer editor poet and scholar. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95. David Levering Lewis a biographer wrote �In the course of his long turbulent career W. E. B. Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism - scholarship propaganda integration national self-determination human rights cultural and economic separatism politics international communism expatriation third world solidarity.' W. E. B. Du Bois was born on Church Street on February 23 1868 in Great Barrington at the south-western edge of Massachusetts to Alfred Du Bois and Mary Silvina Burghardt Du Bois whose February 5 1867 wedding had been announced in the Berkshire Courier. Alfred Du Bois had been born in Haiti. Their son was born 5 months before the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified and added to the U.S. Constitution. Alfred Du Bois was descended from free people of color including the slave-holding Dr. James Du Bois of Poughkeepsie New York a physician. In the Bahamas James Du Bois had fathered three sons including Alfred and a daughter by his slave mistress. Du Bois was also the great-grandson of Elizabeth Freeman �Mum Bett� a slave who successfully sued for her freedom laying the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery in Massachusetts. Du Bois was born free and did not have contact with his biological father. He blamed his maternal grandparents for his father's leaving because they did not take kindly to him. Du Bois was very close to his mother Mary who was from Massachusetts. Du Bois moved frequently when he was young after Mary suffered a stroke which left her unable to work. They survived on money from family members and Du Bois' after-school jobs. Du Bois wanted to help his mother as much as possible and believed he could improve their lives through education. Some of the neighborhood whites noticed him and one allowed Du Bois and his mother to rent a house from him in Great Barrington. While living there Du Bois performed chores and worked odd jobs. Du Bois did not feel differently because of his skin color while he was in school. In fact the only times he felt out of place were when out-of-towners would visit Great Barrington. One such incident occurred when a white girl who was new in school refused to take one of his fake calling cards during a game. The girl told him she would not accept it because he was black. He then realized that there would always be some kind of barrier between whites and others. Young Du Bois may have been an outsider because of his status being poor not having a father and being extremely intellectual for his age; however he was very comfortable academically. Many around him recognized his intelligence and encouraged him to further his education with college preparatory courses while in high school. This academic confidence led him to believe that he could use his knowledge to empower African Americans. Du Bois was awarded a degree from Fisk University in 1888. During the summer following graduation from Fisk Du Bois managed the Fisk Glee Club. The club was employed at a grand luxury summer resort on Lake Minnetonka in suburban Minneapolis Minnesota. The resort was a favorite spot for vacationing wealthy American Southerners and European royalty. Du Bois and the other club members doubled as waiters and kitchen workers at the hotel. Observing the drinking rude and crude behavior and sexual promiscuity of the rich white guests of the hotel left a deep impression on the young Du Bois. Du Bois entered Harvard College in the fall of 1888 having received a $250 scholarship. He earned a bachelor's degree cum laude from Harvard in 1890. In 1892 received a stipend to attend the University of Berlin. While a student in Berlin he travelled extensively throughout Europe and came of age intellectually while studying with some of the most prominent social scientists in the German capital such as Gustav von Schmoller. In 1895 Du Bois became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University. After teaching at Wilberforce University in Ohio and the University of Pennsylvania he established the department of sociology at Atlanta University now Clark Atlanta University. Du Bois wrote many books including three major autobiographies. Among his most significant works are The Philadelphia Negro 1899 The Souls of Black Folk 1903 John Brown 1909 Black Reconstruction 1935 and Black Folk Then and Now 1939. His book The Negro 1915 influenced the work of several pioneer Africanist scholars such as Drusilla Dunjee Houston and William Leo Hansberry. In 1940 at Atlanta University Du Bois founded Phylon magazine. In 1946 he wrote The World and Africa: An Inquiry Into the Part that Africa has Played in World History. In 1945 he helped organize the historic Fifth Pan-African Conference in Manchester England. While prominent white voices denied African American cultural political and social relevance to American history and civic life in his epic work Reconstruction Du Bois documented how black people were central figures in the American Civil War and Reconstruction. He demonstrated the ways Black emancipation - the crux of Reconstruction - promoted a radical restructuring of United States society as well as how and why the country turned its back on human rights for African Americans in the aftermath of Reconstruction. This theme was taken up later and expanded by Eric Foner and Leon F. Litwack the two leading contemporary scholars of the Reconstruction era. In total Du Bois wrote 22 books including five novels and helped establish four journals. Du Bois was the most prominent intellectual leader and political activist on behalf of African Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. A contemporary of Booker T. Washington the two carried on a dialogue about segregation and political disenfranchisement. He was labeled �The Father of Pan-Africanism.' In 1905 Du Bois along with Minnesota attorney Fredrick L. McGhee and others helped to found the Niagara Movement with William Monroe Trotter. The Movement championed among other things freedom of speech and criticism the recognition of the highest and best human training as the monopoly of no caste or race full male suffrage a belief in the dignity of labor and a united effort to realize such ideals under sound leadership. The alliance between Du Bois and Trotter was however short-lived as they had a dispute over whether or not white people should be included in the organization and in the struggle for Civil Rights. Du Bois felt that they should and with a group of like-minded supporters he helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP in 1909. In 1910 he left his teaching post at Atlanta University to work as publications director at the NAACP full-time. He wrote weekly columns in many newspapers including the Chicago Defender the Pittsburgh Courier and the New York Amsterdam News three African-American newspapers and also the Hearst-owned San Francisco Chronicle. For 25 years Du Bois worked as Editor-in-Chief of the NAACP publication The Crisis which then included the subtitle A Record of the Darker Races. He commented freely and widely on current events and set the agenda for the fledgling NAACP. Its circulation soared from 1000 in 1910 to more than 100000 by 1920. Du Bois published Harlem Renaissance writers Langston Hughes and Jean Toomer. As a repository of black thought the Crisis was initially a monopoly David Levering Lewis observed. In 1913 Du Bois wrote The Star of Ethiopia a historical pageant to promote African-American history and civil rights. The seminal debate between Booker T. Washington and Du Bois played out in the pages of the Crisis with Washington advocating a philosophy of self-help and vocational training for Southern blacks while Du Bois pressed for full educational opportunities. Du Bois thought blacks should seek higher education preferably liberal arts. Du Bois believed blacks should challenge and question whites on all grounds but Washington believed assimilating and fitting into the �American' culture is the best way for Blacks to move up in society. While Washington states that he didn't receive any racist insults until later on his years Du Bois said Blacks have a �Double-Conscious' mind in which they have to know when to act �White' and when to act �Black'. Booker T. Washington felt that teaching was a duty but Du Bois felt it was a calling. Du Bois became increasingly estranged from Walter Francis White the executive secretary of the NAACP and began to question the organization's opposition to racial segregation at all costs. Du Bois thought that this policy while generally sound undermined those black institutions that did exist which Du Bois thought should be defended and improved rather than attacked as inferior. By the 1930s Lewis said the NAACP had become more institutional and Du Bois increasingly radical sometimes at odds with leaders such as Walter White and Roy Wilkins. In 1934 after writing two essays in the Crisis suggesting that black separatism could be a useful economic strategy Du Bois left the magazine to return to teaching at Atlanta University. In 1909 W. E. B. Du Bois addressed the American Historical Association AHA. According to David Levering Lewis �His would be the first and last appearance of an African American on the program until 1940.' In a review of the second book in Lewis's biographies of Du Bois Michael R. Winston observed that in understanding American history one must question �how black Americans developed the psychological stamina and collective social capacity to cope with the sophisticated system of racial domination that white Americans had anchored deeply in law and custom.' Winston continued �Although any reasonable answer is extraordinarily complex no adequate one can ignore the man Du Bois whose genius was for 70 years at the intellectual epicenter of the struggle to destroy white supremacy as public policy and social fact in the United States.' Du Bois was investigated by the FBI who claimed in May 1942 that �his writing indicates him to be a socialist' and that he �has been called a Communist and at the same time criticized by the Communist Party.' Du Bois visited Communist China during the Great Leap Forward. Also in the March 16 1953 issue of The National Guardian Du Bois wrote �Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature.' Du Bois was chairman of the Peace Information Center at the start of the Korean War. He was among the signers of the Stockholm Peace Pledge which opposed the use of nuclear weapons. In 1950 at the age of 82 he ran for the U.S. Senate on the American Labor Party ticket in New York and received 4% of the vote. Although he lost Du Bois remained committed to the progressive labor cause and in 1958 joined Trotskyists ex-Communists and independent radicals in proposing the creation of a united left-wing coalition to challenge for seats in the elections for the New York state senate and assembly. He was indicted in the United States under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and acquitted for lack of evidence. W. E. B. Du Bois became disillusioned with both black capitalism and racism in the United States. In 1959 Du Bois received the Lenin Peace Prize. In 1961 at the age of 93 he joined the Communist Party USA. Du Bois was invited to Ghana in 1961 by President Kwame Nkrumah to direct the Encyclopedia Africana a government production and a long-held dream of his. When in 1963 he was refused a new U.S. passport he and his wife Shirley Graham Du Bois became citizens of Ghana renouncing his US citizenship. Du Bois' health had declined in 1962 and on August 27 1963 he died in Accra Ghana at the age of ninety-five one day before Martin Luther King Jr.'s �I Have a Dream� speech. At the March on Washington Roy Wilkins informed the hundreds of thousands of marchers and called for a moment of silence. inventory #16710 paperback‎

A good only copy with significant association. Housed in a custom folding case. J. Max Barber was an African American civil rights activist and educator who with Du Bois and others founded the short-lived but influential Niagara Movement in 1905. Led by Du Bois the group was named after the location of its first meeting which took place at Niagara Falls and its members included prominent figures such as Ida B. Wells Mary Church Terrell and William Monroe Trotter. A precursor to the modern Civil Rights Movement it laid the foundation for many of the strategies and tactics used in the struggle for racial justice in the decades that followed going against what they saw as the more conservative tactic of Booker T. Washington and his allies. <br /><br />Barber later on was editor of 'Crisis magazine and president of the NAACP Philadelphia branch from 1919 to 1921. He would also go on to become the president of the John Brown Memorial Society and continue to publish articles on racial injustice and inequality in Abbott's Monthly between 1930 and 1933. <br /><br />As Barber focused more on his professional dental practice later in his involvement in social movements became less frequent and who he isn't as widely known as one of the stars of the early civil rights movement there's no doubt that his place was of utmost importance as any others from the time. <br /><br /></p> The Stratford Company hardcover‎
