ABC of Color

This book chronicles the story sixty years of the life of a grerat man, Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, a social scientist, historian and pioneer in the black liberation struggle-in the USA and in Africa whence came his great-grandfather as a slave child in the eighteenth century. These selections from his writings of more than a half century were chose by Dr. Du Bois himself shortly before his death in Ghana in 1963 at the age of ninety-five. He wrote with satire, humor, irony and stirring indignation. What he said decade ago is today being borne out in the fight of black people the world over.
