Abstract:Biographical study on the significance of William E. Burghardt DuBois, the most prolific of all American negro writers and intellectuals, for Pan-Africanism and negro integration in American life. At the Ghana republic day celebrations in July, 1960, he was much honoured as the 'father of Pan-Africanism' but he used the occasion mainly to warn Africans against Anglo-American capitalism and to extol the Soviet system. The author had an interview with Dr. DuBois not long before his 92nd birthday. An account of this audience presents DuBois at 92 straining his eyes harder than ever from his lonely hilltop, and, as at the beginning, glimpsing dreams and ideas far, far away across a foreground pitted and barred by the grotesque shapes and distortions of the nearby reality.
