A cover page of //The Crisis// of March 1911. This is one of many covers released by //The Crisis// and each one symbolized a different topic that the NAACP was working towards. //The Crisis//, was originally named after a poem, //The Perfect Crisis,// written by James Lowell (Johnson). The start up of this magazine had over hundreds of thousands of readers within the first couple of years it was published, indicating how well Du Bois managed to get preach his word.

The first African American to earn a Harvard doctorate, Du Bois left a great impact on the burgeoning field of sociology through his writings and teaching.
