His Was the Voice: The Life of W.E.B. Du Bois by Emma Gelders Sterne
Teacher, social scientist, historian, poet, prophet-his was the voice that demanded equality, respect and dignity for the black man in a society that denied his humanity.
The memory of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is as important to the past and future of this country as any revolutionary figure before or since. Yet for years he was unknown to white America and, as a victim of the McCarthy witch hunts of the fifties, rejected by his countrymen. In this dramatic, candid biography, Emma Gelders Sterne presents W. E. B. Du Bois to a new generation that is entitled to the truth about the black man who cried "Freedom Now!" and "Black Power" when no one was willing to listen.
Drawing from the private papers of Du Bois himself, his publications, and the confidences of those who knew and worked with him, Mrs. Sterne has written an unconventional story that reads like fiction but tells the little-known facts of a fascinating life.
