Clark Atlanta University will kick off a tribute to scholar and former professor W.E.B. DuBois Friday with a discussion of "The Gift of Black Folk” and his landmark, “The Souls of Black Folk.”
Monthly panels will touch on DuBois' writings and conclude in 2013 with the “On the Wings of Atlanta” conference, which will celebrate his legacy. Friday's panel will feature his great-grandson Arthur McFarlane.
DuBois taught at Atlanta University from 1897 to 1910, returning in 1934 to chair the sociology department for 10 years. Friday's event begins at noon in the Cole Research Center, 223 James P. Brawley Dr.
