Welcome to episode eight of the Doneson podcast!
Join the gang as we dive into the details surrounding the leadership of prolific American sociologist and psychologist W.E.B Du Bois. Du Bois was an interesting leader both on account of his work as a historian and author, as well as a civil rights activist and Pan-Africanist. This was a man who co-founded the NAACP, was the first African-American man to earn a PHD from Harvard and even coined the term "The Talented Tenth". We will discuss his beliefs about how patience was all that was needed to turn things around. Due to this belief, he was never recorded as an active participant in any of the civil rights movement marches or protests. Despite his non-violent and incredible passive approach, it's worth noting that DuBois actually joined the communist party -which makes for some dynamic debates about his true intentions.
