The University of Massachusetts-Amherst is home for the largest and most historical collections of Brother W.E.B. DuBois. Pioneering sociologist, historian, novelist, playwright, and cultural critic, W.E.B. DuBois committed his life to a relentless opposition to racial and social injustice. Without ever seeking a mass following, he was a peerless organizer who helped to found both the Niagara Movement and the NAACP, and who fostered several Pan African Congresses. For years, he was editor of The Crisis and other progressive journals, and was an international spokesperson for peace and the rights of oppressed minorities. A son of Massachusetts, DuBois articulated the strivings of African Americans and demonstrated the significance of black culture before a world audience.
