In his letter to President Wilson, W.E.B. DuBois points out that for the first time since the emancipation of slaves the government passes into the hands of the party which a half century before fought desperately to keep slaves as real estate in the eyes of the law. He states that a determination on the part of intelligent and decent Americans to see absolute equality of all citizens before the law, the civil rights of all citizens and absolute impartiality in the granting of the right to vote are the bedrock of a just solution of the rights of man in the USA.

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” writes Du Bois, in one of the most prophetic works in all of American literature. First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it. Du Bois’ writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13
Dr. William Edward DuBois pioneered the science of sociology. His detailed long-range study of an African American community in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the first of its kind. DuBois hoped that knowledge, and the ensuing understanding, might lessen the prejudice against African Americans. Later DuBois sought more radical methods of countering racism. DuBois helped found the Niagara Movement and the NAACP, and became the editor of Crisis, the NAACP's journal.

Publisher's Summary
Members of the Niagara Movement held the idea that all people, regardless of race, were created equal. Du Bois believed that racial progress in American society would only occur if African-Americans were guaranteed the same political and legal rights as whites. In the Niagara Movement speech, he states: "We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social."
