The Appreciation For 2/4/11: W.E.B Du Bois

One of the many legendary figures who deserve the equivalent of praise as MLK gets throughout American history's myopic perspective on black history is without a doubt William Edward Burghardt Du Bois.

More than becoming the first black person to get a Ph.D and more than him being among an esteemed 8 figures to craft and develop the NAACP, it was the demeanor which Du Bois exhibited throughout his entire life that warrants eternal praise around the world.

Du Bois was no question a "radical". His devoted love to Communism maybe a key reason, along with him not having the initials "MLK" or being known for refusing to go to the back of a bus, why he'll probably never get a Google day dedicated to him. Nevertheless, he was just as vital as any black figure in this country of advancing the race.

And for that, forever celebrated and acknowledged he should be.
