W.E.B. DUBOIS
Victoria

W.E.B. DuBois was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington Massachusetts. DuBois was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1896. Between 1897 and 1814 DuBois conducted numerous studies of black society in American publishing 16 research papers. At the turn of the century DuBois had been a supporter of black capitalism. By 1905 he had been drawn to socialist ideas and remained sympathetic to Marxism throughout his life. In 1961 DuBois became completely disillusioned with the United States. August 27, 1963, on the eve of the March on Washington, DuBois died in Accra, Ghana, shortly after becoming a Ghanan citizen.
