"Outspoken, militant, profoundly committed to nothing less than full equality, W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps the single most important leader of the twentieth century in the fight for civil rights for blacks everywhere. Yet for many years he was largely ignored by the majority of Americans. In a book that is both an honest and compelling account of his life and a searching history of the black experience in the United States, Virginia Hamilton examines the reasons for this neglect and the enormous influence Dr. Du Bois has had on us all in spite of it. A founder of the Niagara Movement and later of the N.A.A.C.P., editor of The Crisis magazine, father of the movement to unite Africa for Africans, Dr. Du Bois was, in the crucial period of the twenties and thirties, the man most responsible for the changes in the attitudes of black people toward themselves and their condition in American society. He made them aware of the grave and just reasons for their discontent." -- from the dust jacket.
