W. E. B. Du Bois Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: February 23, 1868 - August 27, 1963
Birthday: February 23
Death: August 27
Out of the temptation of Hate, and burned by the fire of Despair, triumphant over Doubt, and steeled by Sacrifice against Humiliation, . . . He bent to all the gibes and prejudices, to all hatred and discrimination with that rare courtesy which is the armor of pure souls. . . . he simply worked, inspiring the young, rebuking the old, helping the weak, guiding the strong.
