W.E.B. Dubois Writing Helped Make a Change for African Americans
W.E.B. Dubois made historic changes with African Americans in the 20th century. W.E.B. Dubois voiced his opinion in books and politics to help African Americans and all unfair treated people gain equally rights as other people. He joined organizations such as the NAACP to get african americans voice more out there an for them to get their rights equalized. I believe that he should be considered a civil rights historic icon because he lead a way for african american to stand up on themselves. He was the first African American to get a PH.D at Harvard University. He wrote books and tried to figure out the cause of segregation through social relations.

NHD
I choose William Edward Burghardt DuBois for my NHD Project because I am interested in learning about how he told the truths about black people and how he made a change with education.
This person is important to history because without DuBois efforts,his people would not have had a voice.
For this week's research, I found an article at http://www.duboislc.org/html/DuBoisBio.html. I will read and summarize it for next week so i can find more information about WEB DuBois so i can accelerate my project.
