Georgia History: W.E.B. DuBois and ‘The Souls of Black Folk’

The 37 acre campus of Atlanta’s Morris Brown College sits largely vacant, awaiting sale.  And while the future of this nearly one hundred thirty-year-old institution is uncertain, we decided to look back at one aspect of its past. We talked to Dr. Tim Crimmins—Director of the Center for Neighborhood and Metropolitan Studies at Georgia State University. We met him at Morris Brown one windy day to talk about one of the school’s most famous teachers—W.E.B. DuBois.
