Inspiring!  W.E.B. DuBois’s life covered an amazing period of time for the civil rights movement.  He was born just five years after the Emancipation Proclamation and passed away the day before Martin Luther King gave his “I Have A Dream” speech.

A seemingly tireless and persistent agent of change, Du Bois completed an amazing amount of work and lived a life full of scholarship and the application of his many talents.

This addition to the Up Close Series is in keeping with the frank and candid nature of this biography series, bringing us “up close” to the individual vs the enigma.  Check out their other titles.
