Du Bois experienced Jim Crow for the first time when he arrived at Fisk University, an hbcu, in Nashville, Tennessee in 1885.Between semesters, he taught at a primitive Appalachian school where he was shocked by the dire poverty African Americans suffered. He became obsessed with the race problem in America. He continued graduate studies at Harvard, joined a study-abroad program at the University of Berlin, finally returning to Boston in 1895 to receive a PhD from Harvard, the first African American to do so. When white universities shunned his applications despite his stellar credentials, Du Bois accepted a professorship at Atlanta University teaching sociology and directing Publications, the school journal of Negro life.
