"W.E.B. DuBois was a spokesman for the Negro's rights at a time when few were listening: he was highly intelligent, but toward the end of his career, he became embittered, a Communist, and finally left the United States and took refuge in Ghana. There shortly before his death, Ralph McGill sought him out for this talk."

The W.E.B. DuBois Virtual University

http://members.tripod.com/~DuBois/index.html

"The W.E.B. Du Bois Virtual University is a series of pages detailing various aspects of Du Bois studies. It is my hope that the University will serve as a clearinghouse for information on Du Bois and spur intelligent scholarship and discussion of his life, legacy, and works. Because Du Bois' life spanned nearly a century, Du Bois studies encompasses much of African American history. The study of Du Bois is therefore instructive to the study of American history as a whole." The page links to several biographies, conferences, groups of scholars, and online texts, as well as offering bibliographies of criticism and commentary. It also sponsors online classes.
