Du Bois’ ethnicities included African American, French, Dutch, and Indian. W.E.B Du Bois was the first African-American to receive a Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1895. 3 Du Bois mainly stressed the idea of social and economical equality among the African-American community, which was very different from Washington’s view. He highly stated that the “talented tenth” theory should be given access to the mainstream American life.3 His “talented tenth” theory was first introduced in 1903 and mainly focused on helping the need for higher education to create leadership qualities to the most needed 10 percent of African-Americans.5 W.E.B Du Bois was also an important contributor to help co-found the National African American Colored People or NAACP and became the association's director of research and editor of its magazine, The Crisis.4 Overtime W.E.B Du Bois developed into a skilled historian , poet, and

W. E. B. Dubois (1868 - 1963) was one of the first sociologists to describe how racism and ethnic discrimination influenced society. He wrote a book each year from 1896 - 1914 describing relations between whites and African-Americans. He was one of the founding members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He was a sociologist whose contributions came from theory and social reform, an attacker of injustice and a defender of freedom. How effective are current social programs designed to improve quality of life?
Challenge the authority While accepting the knowledge of authority, it is sometimes essential to question the ideas and decisions of those people in the positions of authority. We can see through Martin Luther King's actions that challenge the racism in the civil rights movement. In addition, through Galileo Galilei's doubt on the theory that most people used to believe. By protesting the authority and promoting the ideas of nonviolence and equal treatment for different races, Martin Luther King has received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Marin Luther King, a political activist, is the the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement.
In the late 1930’s, Gunnar Myrdal was approached by Frederick Keppel, on behalf of the Carnegie Corporation, to analyze one of the most prominent problems in American history. Myrdal was to look at the discrepancy between the idealistic American Creed and the reality of what life was like for African Americans during that time period. This became known as the American Dilemma. Over the course of the next 20 years there were several court cases dealing with the issue of segregation within the educational system; the most prevalent case being Brown v Topeka Board of Education. This paper serves to connect those issues that Myrdal highlighted in “An American Dilemma” to those social issues that surfaced during Brown v Topeka Board of Education.

E. B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk (1903) contained perhaps the most eloquent statement ever written on being black in white America. The difficulties of their circumstances, Du Bois believed, create a double consciousness among Americans of African descent. The Souls of Black Folk: One of the major literary works of the twentieth century, it contained the first formal attack on Washington and his leadership. Du Bois attacked Washington for failing to stand up for political and civil rights and higher education for black Americans.
Hunter Sprinkles Dr. Caulfield Language 120 February 15, 2013 The Psychology behind Delayed Desegregation Brown v. Board of Education delivered a monumental ruling in 1954 that classified separate but equal segregation to be unconstitutional. This victory for the African American community renewed fading hope that change and equality would one day be a reality. The harsh truth, however, was that even a decade later the black community had seen very little if any improvements. Malcolm X delivered a speech in 1964 putting into words the feelings of many blacks still struggling in the segregated South. “No, I’m not an American.
Outline and evaluate one sociological perspective. Marxism is a key sociological perspective and is referred to as one of Sociology's grand theories. It is a structural theory and is the most influential and widely known version of conflict theory, focusing on the conflicts of social groups within society. Many critics of Marxism focus on the fact that some of Marx's more startling predictions have not yet come true, thus, people are quick to judge his sociological perspective and write it off altogether, I hope to address this and conclude that, in fact, Marxism is still an adaptable and highly influential sociological theory. Karl Marx, born 1818, was alive during a time which saw the biggest period of change in Britain in modern times, a time of Industrialisation.
