Help Read the excerpt from “W. E.B. Du Bois: Social Justice Leader.”

Society saw Du Bois as an agitator constantly fighting for his beliefs, but also, in the view of some, causing trouble. His ideas were revolutionary for his time. His view of social justice extended worldwide and to many different groups. For instance, he was extremely vocal in his support of women’s rights. There was also great injustice abroad. European countries controlled parts of Africa and its wealth. Du Bois fought for the political, social, and economic liberation of Africa. To support his cause, he went to London for the First Pan-African Conference in 1900 and organized similar gatherings around the world from 1919 to 1927. These groups passed resolutions against the oppression of Africans by European governments, but there was little change.

Which best describes the central idea of this excerpt?

Have you ever thought you understood a person based on a story that you have heard about them? have you ever guessed about a person's personal life because of the clothes they wore? or, have you judged a person because of their friends? although classifying people in this way is typically discouraged, authors deliberately use your preconceived ideas to you form an opinion about the character or to at least have a better understanding. can you think of a time that you made a character call about someone based on external aspects? were you correct, or incorrect? has anyone ever made an incorrect assessment of you based on external aspects? write two paragraphs about it in your journal.
