DuBois
Somehow I never realized WEB DuBois lived til the 60s! Almost a hundred years old! I'm really looking forward to this series.
Episode 68
It's pronounced du bwa
Du Bois
No actually it isn't! I mean, it would be if it were French, but Du Bois himself pronounced it as Doo Boys, as Chike would be the first to tell you - he's a leading expert on Du Bois' thought so he would not have allowed me to say it wrong!
