- Summary
- Dr. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois pioneered the science of sociology. His detailed long-range study of an African American community in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the first of its kind. Du Bois hoped that knowledge, and the ensuing understanding, might lessen the prejudice against African Americans. Later Du Bois sought more radical methods of countering racism. Du Bois helped found the Niagara Movement and the NAACP, and became the editor of Crisis, the NAACP's journal.
