Listen and learn all about W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP and pioneer of the science of sociology. Du Bois was born in 1868, just three years after the end of the Civil War and five years after Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. His ancestors had been slaves, but both of Du Bois' parents were raised as free blacks. Du Bois believed that a long-range study of African Americans in the United States might help reformation against racial violence. In 1903 he wrote, Souls of Black Folk, which was the first book that described what it was like to be African American in the United States and also widely read.
