Du Bois from Harvard to Paris
Du Bois was the first African American to earn a doctorate at Harvard. After Harvard he embarked on a study of African American life. He first used the new discipline of sociology to bear on a study of the African American community in Philadelphia. He then prepared an exhibit for the Paris Exposition of 1900 to show the progress that African Americans had made only 35 years after the end of slavery.
