W E B Du Bois (23 Feb 1868 - 27 Aug 1963)

Once again we come to the anniversary of the death of W E B Du Bois and once again I`m a touch unprepared.

For the moment I think I`ll just take this opportunity to mark the passing of one of the world`s great flawed heroes, and I`ll try to add in a few comments of more substance as soon as I can.

It is, of course, worth noting that The Crisis, the magazine of which he was founding editor, is still going strong after all these years. and can be found at www.thecrisismagazine.com .
