W. E. B. Du Bois
W. E. B. Du Bois helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Du Bois was one of the most important black leaders in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. He was probably the first black American to express the idea of Pan-Africanism.
