What have W.E.B. Du Bois contributed to history and history of African Americans?

Answer 1

Du Bois's black nationalism took several forms--the most influential being his pioneering advocacy of Pan-Africanism, the belief that all people of African descent had common interests and should work together in the struggle for their freedom. Du Bois was a leader of the first Pan-African Conference in London in 1900 and the architect of four Pan-African congresses held between 1919 and 1927. Second, he articulated a cultural nationalism. As the editor of The Crisis he encouraged the development of black literature and art and urged his readers to see "Beauty in Black." Third, Du Bois's black nationalism is seen in his belief that blacks should develop a separate "group economy" of producers' and consumers' cooperatives as a weapon for fighting economic discrimination and black poverty. This doctrine became especially important during the economic catastrophe of the 1930s and precipitated an ideological struggle within the NAACP.
