| In 1895 American writer W. E. B. Du Bois became the first black to be awarded a doctoral degree from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Du Bois came to prominence as an advocate of racial equality. He argued against famed black educator Booker T. Washington’s theory that blacks should accept their inferior social status and work to improve their lives through economic means. | ||||||
