One of the most important leaders in the fight against racial discrimination during the first half of the 1900s was W.E.B. Du Bois. He co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and advocated for civil rights, emphasizing the importance of higher education for African Americans. Du Bois was a vocal opponent of Jim Crow laws and worked tirelessly to promote social justice and equality. His influence and writings helped lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement that would gain momentum in the 1950s and 1960s.
