Previously unknown letters written by W.E.B Du Bois (A.B. 1890, A.M. 1891, Ph.D. 1895) - the influential African-American scholar and leader of the early 20th century African-American protest movement - and his wife Shirley Graham Du Bois, an author and teacher, have been jointly acquired by the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute and Houghton Library. The letters, written to the leftist writer, teacher, and world traveler Anna Melissa Graves, cover topics ranging from family to politics to sociological issues.
