Question #3 features a quote from the ICON W.E.B DuBois: Born in February 1868, all of DuBois efforts were geared toward presenting evidence to refute the myths of racial inferiority among African-Americans. From his earliest years, Du Bois was a gifted scholar. In 1884, he graduated from high school as Valedictorian, then received his Bachelor of Arts from Fisk University.  In 1888 he entered Harvard University as a junior, took a bachelor of arts cum laude and was one of six commencement speakers. From 1892 to 1894 he pursued graduate studies in History and Economics at the University of Berlin. Du Bois then received his Master of Arts from Harvard in 1891, and, in 1895, he became the first African American to receive a Doctorate from the university. Later in 1909, Du Bois was among the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and from 1910 to 1934 served as director of publicity and research, a member of the board of directors, and founder and editor of "The Crisis", its monthly magazine. DuBoid was most active in placing the issues of African Americans before the United Nations, serving as a consultant to the UN Founding Convention and writing the famous “An Appeal to the World”. "Black Reconstruction in America", perhaps his most significant historical work, details the role of African Americans in American society, specifically during the Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also active on behalf of Pan-Africanism, concernin himself with the conditions of people of African descent worldwide. In 1900 he attended the First Pan-African Conference held in London, was elected a vice president, and wrote the “Address to the Nations of the World.” Du Bois organized a series of Pan-African congresses around the world throughout the 1920s. Du Bois’s final Pan-African gesture was to take up citizenship in Ghana in 1961, he died there on Aug. 27, 1963, on the eve of the civil rights march in Washington, D.C
