Description: Here is the first intimate study of one of the earliest and greatest spokesmen for black liberation - W.E.B. Du Bois - as only his wife could have seen him. Events and personalities crowd this rich memoir - Du Bois's break with the NAACP (which he helped to found), the McCarthy era, and his trial as "an agent of a foreign principal." Here are his triumphant tours abroad, his talks with Kruschev and Mao, his friendship with Nkrumah and final move to Ghana. All of this is part of a personal document of human dignity and achievement. --from inside jacket flap.
