W.E.B. Du Bois, or William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, was an African American writer, teacher, sociologist and activist whose work transformed the way that the lives of Black citizens were seen in American society. He shared in the creation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909 and edited
The Crisis
, its magazine, from 1910 to 1934. Considered ahead of his time, Du Bois was an early champion of using data to solve social issues for the Black community, and his writing - including his groundbreaking
The Souls of Black Folk
- became a landmark of African American literature.
