William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963) was one of the leading thinkers of his age. As a public intellectual, activist, organizer, historian, poet, sociologist, and philosopher, he devoted his prodigious talent to the struggle for equality and social justice both in the US and internationally.
The W.E.B. Du Bois Papers, 1803-1999, document virtually every stage in his long career and show his involvement in many areas of twentieth century racial, literary, and social reform movements. In particular, the correspondence files, including well over 100,000 items show Du Bois' interactions with others in these realms.
