Next year marks the 150th birthday of the great Black scholar-activist W.E.B. Dubois. To celebrate the occasion, the Philadelphia Saturday Free School will mount a year-long literacy and democracy campaign” titled “Philadelphia Reads W.E.B. Dubois.” Duboisian scholar Dr. Anthony Monteiro said the campaign will explore “the totality of Dubois’ work,” with the aim of enhancing “the ability of Black working class and poor people to fight for our rights and for peace and justice.”
