Based on your understanding of the required and supplemental readings on Du Bois and the Atlanta Laboratory, write an essay on race and Du Bois’ ideas for overcoming racial inequality. In addition to your major focus, include responses to the following questions in your work.
1. Discuss the Atlanta School and its major works.
2. Discuss Du Bois’ thoughts on women particularly in the context of prevailing attitudes at the time on gender. Identify specific women with whom Du Bois worked and how their contributions influenced social change.
3. Comment on race within a Du Boisian context borrowing from your own experiences. Include a clear discussion of how you see your experiences shaped by your race/ethnicity. What do you think Du Bois would say about this today?
