Did you know that W.E.B. Du Bois, an African American writer, scholar, and social activist, is considered a father of social science? Du Bois was an influential figure during the early 20th century, dedicating his life to understanding and addressing the social issues faced by African Americans. He was the first African American to earn a doctorate degree from Harvard University and extensively researched racial inequality, discrimination, and the African American experience. Du Bois's seminal work, "The Souls of Black Folk," challenged prevailing notions of race and identity, and his pioneering contributions to sociology laid the foundation for the modern study of social sciences.
