William Edward Burghardt DuBois was an attacker of injustice and a defender of freedom. He was against racism. He was an intellectual leader of the black community in America. He wanted to find ways to overcome the racial discrimination. One of his most powerful writing is call “ The Souls of Black Folk.” This book contains essays on race. He believed that social science could provide the knowledge to solve the race problem. He expressed his disagreement with Jim Crow laws. He clashed with Booker T Washington who urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and elevate themselves through hard work and economic plan. DuBois disagreed with it and wanted all Negros to be free and had the same opportunity White Americans had.
