1) Who is W.E.B. Du Bois? Where did he obtain his PhD?

Nady [450]

1. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois is an activist from America and he obtained his PhD from Havard University.

2. He studied sociology and made his investigations in University of Pennsylvania.
3. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois finding while studying the sociology of the society was that change in the society could be achieved by means of protest.
4. The racial formation theory is a theory which uses sociology to identify and shape races of people. This formation theory has a relationship with Du Bois in that he himself too was a sociologist and describes this theory as an empirical science.
5. Race is not a biological thing.
6. Class is more of important than race simply because the ethnicity of different groups of people is still a subject of social class in any system.

<h3>Why race is not a biological thing</h3>

The simple reason why race has no biological connection is simply because it is more of a social attribute.

So therefore, we can confirm from the explanation above that W.E.B. Du Bois was an intellectual individual.
