I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.--W.E.B. DuBois
"We refuse to allow the impression that to remain that the Negro-American assents to inferiority, is submissive under oppression and apologetic before insults," Trotter wrote with W.B. DuBois in the Declaration of Principles for the Niagara Movement.
Walter Carrington '52, former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, will be making a return to Harvard as one of 10 resident fellows at the DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research for the 1997-98 year.
"We are delighted that Ambassador Carrington is able to join this distinguished group of scholars at the DuBois Institute," said DuBois Professor of the Humanities Henry Louis Gates, Jr., director of the institute and chair of the Department of Afro-American Studies, in the release.
"The DuBois Institute is a catalyst for research and interest in Afro-Americana," said Richardson, who also joined Harvard's faculty this fall as a visiting professor of Afro-American studies. "It's difficult to think of a better department in this field in the country."
