26517, You have to understand that Alexander Crummell Posted by Chike, Thu Feb-17-05 09:17 PM
was a mentor of Du Bois'. Now Crummell is problematic in a lot of ways, some of which may have been passed on to Du Bois (tho I would never say he's the main source of Du Bois' faults). Nevertheless, we can't take away Crummell's importance as a father (some have called him THE father) of Pan-Africanism.
