Part six, A selected bibliography of the published writings of W. E. B. Du Bois / by Ernest Kaiser.
"This collection of writings by and about W. E. B. Du Bois presents a multidimensional portrait of a man whose life and thought are central to any understanding of black history in the United States. Divided into five major sections, Black Titan opens with a series of brief tributes from some of the people deeply influenced by Du Bois — among them Langston Hughes, Ruby Dee, Kwame Nkrumah, Paul Robeson, and Mayor Richard B. Hatcher. Views of Du Bois as scholar, as activist, and as international man are then provided by Saunders Redding, Vincent Harding, Truman Nelson, Elinor Desverney Sinnette, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard B. Moore, and others. Finally, the editors turn to Du Bois' own writing: his 'Credo' (a fascinating article on Africa and the French Revolution), a selection of his poems, the historic letter to Gus Hall, and other rarely reprinted pieces. Also included is a selected bibliography of Du Bois' published writings." -- from the back cover.
