DuBOIS, W. E. B. (1868-1963), Historian, civil rights leader . Photograph signed ("W. E. B. DuBois"), by an unidentified photographer, n.d. [ca. 1930s]. 7¼ x 5½ in., approximately , including margin. Matted, framed and glazed. Unexamined out of frame. Neatly signed in ink just below image. A SCARCE SIGNATURE BY ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC--AND LONG LIVED--SCHOLARS IN ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY. A fine, soft-focus portrait. DuBois's career spanned the presidencies of William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. His 1903 work, The Souls of Black Folks , challenged the views of Booker T. Washington, who emphasized manual training for blacks and eschewed liberal arts education as well as political activism. DuBois, instead, urged the cultivation of a "talented tenth" of black leaders. For him, activism and scholarship were inextricable. He was a founding member of the NAACP, and his 1935 masterpiece, Black Reconstruction in America , demolished decades of racist scholarship that saw the post Civil War era as a "tragic" episode of black misrule. Over the course of the 1940s and 50s he grew increasingly frustrated at the slow pace of racial reform, and became an apologist for Stalinism. The government unsuccessfully tried him as an unregistered foreign agent in 1951, then stripped him of his passport even after his acquittal. Disgusted, DuBois renounced his U.S. citizenship, joined the Communist Party and emigrated to Ghana, where he died in 1963.
