Du Bois wrote his most influential works in the 23 years he spent as a professor at Atlanta University. The year 2013 will mark the 50th anniversary of the passing of Dr. Du Bois. On his birthday in February, it is fitting that Clark Atlanta University (CAU) celebrate his life and scholarship. On February 20-23, 2013 CAU will convene national and international scholars for a four-day Du Boisian homage and birthday celebration. Here, in Atlanta, we will resituate the Du Bois legacy in the South--at the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) which is seldom recognized as the sustaining crucible of his genius and consciousness. We invite you to join us as we engage in an interdisciplinary and international introspection of the life, scholarship and activism of one of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. Over 140 panelists from 50 institutions will speak in 30 panel sessions. PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS * AUC Robert W.
