Good morning Carrboro
High School, my name is Myasia Jarrett. February is Black History Month.
Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and
black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of
black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an
inspirational black figure.
W.E.B DuBois
Born on February 23rd
1868 DuBois would grow up to become the first African American to obtain a
Doctorate Degree. Soon after this accomplishment DuBois started speaking out
against racism and Jim Crow laws as an advocate for social justice and became
the figure-head of the Niagara Movement. In 1909 he became the co-founder of
the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). DuBois
was also a prolific writer, with some of his most well known pieces being The
Souls of Black folks and Black Reconstruction in America.
