The African Scene Anaijfied
By Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois
Dr. ;W., E. Burghardt DuBois
will analyze the African scene
in a series of articles. The first
appeared last week in the Na
tional Guardian. The distin
guished historian’s survey will
seek to draw attention to the
vital significance for the whole
world, and not least for A-
merica, of the current ferment
in the continent , which is the
last great stronghold of dying
colonialism.
Dr. DuBois’ first article,, can
didly discussing why at the
time of Africa’s greatest impor
tance U. S. Negroes pay it but
superficial attention, will ap
peared in the Guardian’s special
Negro Qistory Week issue of
Feb. 14. Tills issue will also con
tain a survey of the Negro’s
position in America eight years
from the NAACT’s “fuU free
dom” deadline in 1963, by the
Guardian’s civil liberties and
Negro affairs editor, Eugene
Gordon. Gordon was formerly
the contributor of an aimual
appraisal of the Negro press to
Opportunity; Journal of Negro
Life.
The Guardian, founded in
1948 and circulated nation
wide, has led in many cam
paigns in behalf of the Negro
including the famous Trenton
Six case.
Dr. DuBois now 87 years old
and regarded as the nation’s
foremost expert on African af
fairs, has been a frequent con
tributor to the Guardian. A par
ticipant in the World Races
Congress in London in 1911, he
(Jrganized Pan-African Con
gresses in Paris, London, Brus
sels and Lisbon in 1919, 192T|
and 1923. He was consultant in
1919 and 1921 in the founding
of the League of Nations, par
ticipated in the first League as
sembly meeting in Geneva and
later served as special U. S.
Minister to Liberia. He was a
special consultant and partici'
pant at the founding conference
of the United Nations organiza
tion in San francisco and
1945 took a leading part in the
Pan-African Congress in Lon
don. Among his many noted
books, “Thft World and Africa”
remains an unanswered indict
ment of centuries of white
civilization built on exploita
tion and enslavement of the
peoples of Africa.
