Four prominent African American writers, Wesley Brown, Thulani Davis, Toni Cade Bambara and Amiri Baraka, each narrate a period in the life of W.E.B. DuBois, and describe his impact on their work. They chronicle DuBois' role as a founder of the N.A.A.C.P., organizer of the first Pan-African Congress, editor of Crisis, a journal of the black cultural renaissance and author of a series of landmark sociological studies.
