Thank You for this very polished video about my Great Grandfather's Legacy. I enjoyed this video. Some misunderstood my Great Grandfather's beliefs but he stood strong for equal rights for African Americans. He wanted the world to know we were a very smart and talented people who could do ANYTHING WE SET OUT TO DO. He proved that through achieving many things. He never lacked confidence and his offspring feel the same. Thanks for your support and uplift of Du Bois's Legacy

Do you know any information on Du Bois's Haitian relatives?

[@davicool4284]

Dr Shakespeare Agamemnon Beard... Never met a quadroon or octoroon woman he didn't like... Didn't stand with Ida B Wells against the "white" civil rights interlopers - in fact he embraced them. Had a sweet tooth for "high yellow" simultaneously tried to date and employ them. A real trend setter...

A compelling and scholarly treatment of WEB Dubois’ life and times. Very much obliged.

[@kalebnbrown]

Great job!

[@johnkawakami8395]

Excellent video!

[@eshoreent]

You have to do a video on Marcus Garvey and the UNIA-ACL. He was our greatest organizer. Garvey was a Pan African. WEB went from integrationist to Pan African and apologized for going against Garvey. He lived out the last years of his life in Africa.

[@oswaldthomas9425]

He did not like Marcus Garvey because he could not understand how a man with such dark skin completion and from a little island could organise so many people all over the world. But Marcus Garvey fought for everyone of African blood. W.d.b.DuBuis fought for class and lighter completion people in America. But taken nothing away from him,Marcus Garvey did not set foot on African soil yet DuBuis died in Africa. That's like

[@ncheedxx0109]

Wrong. DuBois was talking abt Black Americans. Garvey abt Black Caribs. Neither knew any of the 1000 Black African languages. Meaning their knowledge of real Black people was extremely limited. What abt Black Latinos? What’s more, the souls of Black Africans can not be really understood nor adequately expressed in a White man's language like English.

[@alllove6874]

Wow!!! This was amazing. After listening thoroughly, I dont know if Dubois was an overall positive or negative figure for the race. If he was a wise intellectual or a fool. Simply wish he helped Washington instead of hurting him. It took Dubois half a century to agree with Washington after helping destroy Washington and his legacy.

[@countryboi]

thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@chocolatekhan6685]

You're always going to find a way to blame the Black man for the fallacies and atrocities of the white man... Professor W.E.B. Du Bois was focused on his people. Not those who hold white privilege in their bosom, and the power to crush those whose only wish is to have equal footing, justice, and rights & freedom.

I like the vid but your voice was too low I could barely hear you
