W. E. B. Du Bois - Strange, is it not, my brot...

Strange, is it not, my brothers, how often in America those great watchwords of human energy - 'Be strong!' 'Know thyself!' 'Hitch your wagon to a star!' - how often these die away into dim whispers when we face these seething millions of black men? And yet do they not belong to them? Are they not their heritage as well as yours?

W. E. B. Du Bois

Born: Feb 23, 1868
