DuBois became a student at Fisk University. After he graduated, DuBois went to the distinguished Harvard University to further his education. The school gave him the opportunity to study in Europe. He was able to
travel across the continent and visit some of the top minds of his field. He was so steadfast in his studies that he
became the first African American to receive a Ph. D. from Harvard. (A) After school, DuBois taught and worked
for many political and civil causes. He then moved to Georgia to start the first sociology department at Atlanta
University. (B) In Atlanta, DuBois became a pioneer for the civil rights of African Americans. (C) He wrote
several books and organized many events to demonstrate against the segregation between whites and blacks.
(D) Unlike Booker T. Washington—another activist who championed racial equality—DuBois believed in higher
education and culture for African Americans. In 1909, he helped organize the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, a group that encourages all races of people to support the civil rights of
African Americans. DuBois worked as the publication director. For many years, he wrote a column for the main
publication of the NAACP. His articles discussed the everyday struggles of African Americans and proposed
nonviolent solutions to these problems.
