Mao and De Bois
by Alex
UMass has an awesome “page of WEB De Bois”:http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/collections/galleries/dubois18.htm pictures which include him meeting famous people like MAO. That’s right: “WEB De Bois and Mao”:http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/collections/galleries/dubois/MS0312-0741.jpg. Talk about two great tastes that taste great together. I want to make an energy drink which has this picture on every can.
Well Du Bois did embrace Marxism towards the end of his life… At the Chiang Kai Shek memorial hall in Taiwan is a picture of CKS with Gandhi.
As Kerim already noted:
It’s _Du_ Bois. Not _de_.
Sorry I always get Blanche and W.E.B confused.
Ding! I’m going to have to ask for a judge’s ruling on this one…
Sorry, but Blanche was also “from the woods” not “wooden.”
Though ’tis true that Billy Ed Burgy, being an exile, _did_ have to periodically rely upon the kindness of strangers.
