W.E.B. DuBois had a significant impact on Georgia's history through his work as a civil rights activist and scholar. In 1906, he attended the Atlanta University Conference and spoke against racial segregation, advocating for equal rights for Black people. DuBois also worked as a professor at Atlanta University and conducted important sociological research on the condition of Black Americans in the South, which contributed to the understanding of racial inequality. His legacy remains in the form of his influential writings, such as "The Souls of Black Folk," which continue to inspire and inform the fight against racial injustice.
