W.E.B. du Bois Tea Towel

W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) was an African-American sociologist, activist and co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He was the first African American to gain a doctorate at Harvard. He argued that capitalism was one of the causes of racism and was an early advocate of nuclear disarmament. He wrote movingly and passionately in his writings about the tension between the U.S. ideals of freedom and the injustice that so often befell non-whites.
