W.E.B.DuBois was born on 23rd February, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, just five years after slavery was officially abolished in the United States. Great Barrington had at that time had only about 25-50 blacks among the 5000 or so population.

Although there were little signs of overt racism, it's venom was nevertheless present in the form of vindicative attitudes of it's residents. This constant barrage of innuendos, combined with the discriminatory behavior caused the nature of young DeBois to change from good natured and outgoing to sullen and withdrawn, elements which haunted him all his life.

DeBois died in August 27,1963, on the eve of the March On Washington, in Accra, Ghana.

Another reference will further highlight the lines of thoughts followed by DeBois. Sarte in Preface to Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth wrote "there is nothing more consistent than a racist humanism since the European has only been able to become a man through creating slaves and monsters."

Simple events in their lives for example, breach of contract, vagrancy, absence of work, possession of firearms, insulting gestures were considered crimes for the blacks and consequently jails were their new boundaries, thus giving way to a criminal system for the sole purpose of intimidation and engaging the black community at continuous work away from the normal society.
