The call to drop the charges against these men has been endorsed by both DuBois Professor of the Humanities Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Professor of Afro-American Studies and of the Philosophy of Religion Cornel R. West '74, according to Daley.
Soyinka, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1986, was a fellow at the W.E.B. DuBois Insti-the Woodruff Professor of the Arts at Emory University in Georgia.
"Combine the braininess of the legendary black scholar W.E.B. DuBois and the chutzpah of P.T. Barnum, and the result is Henry Louis Gates Jr.," the article said.
"I'm going to keep working as hard as I can to build the DuBois institute," Gates said. "That's my life and I love that."
Gates' current projects include authoring the Encyclopedia Africana, a project first envisioned by DuBois himself. Next year he will work on a series for the BBC on the "Seven Wonders of the African World."
