The idea of the association being named for colored instead of black was to represent those that are “dark-skinned everywhere”(NAACP History 2019.). The first major thing that DuBois created was using the article The Ciris, as a way to clear facts and arguments which showed the danger of race prejudice particular as manifested today towards colored people. His editorial helped initiate a nationwide push for lynching to become outlawed.]]> 2019-10-21 03:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brijanine16/trg0z274beix/wish/400112794 Career brijanine16 https://padlet.com/brijanine16/trg0z274beix/wish/400112821 DuBois laid the foundation for the African American struggle for equal rights as he continued his editorial of lynching and the beginning of the investigate and undercover journalism involving lynching and the fight for equal rights.

E. B. Du Bois. Harvard University 2019). The impact of justice for black in the south marked the federal government using the 14th amendment guarantee of due process to prevent states from shielding mob violence during the attacks on blacks in Elaine, Arkansas. DuBois continued to endeavor in causes for people of color outside the United States and became a proponent of Pan-Africanism in the 1900s helping its efforts to fight for the independence of African colonies from European powers. DuBois’ fight for Civil rights created and stemmed influential pieces that believed that capitalism was the primary cause of racism and he strongly protested discrimination in education and employment that included his causes for people of color everywhere including Africans and Asians. His prevalent brought to voice issues of the social-economical system of the United States in the bleakest point just before the Civil Rights Movement a year after his death.
