The Hidden Manuscript: Exploring WEB Du Bois' Legacy

Send us a Text Message.

What powerful impact did attending a public high school instead of a private one have on Chad Williams, a Samuel J and Augusta Spector Professor of History and African American Studies at Brandis University? In this eye-opening episode of Becoming Bridge Builders, we explore Chad's life-changing decision and the inspiring journey it set him on, leading him to become an influential historian and educator. We also delve into his enriching experiences at UCLA, where he had the opportunity to learn from incredible mentors and peers.

Our conversation with Chad further reveals his deep passion for researching African-Americans in World War I, and his awe-inspiring discovery of WEB Du Bois' unpublished 800-page manuscript. Listen in as we discuss the struggles Du Bois faced when trying to reconcile the history and legacy of World War I, and how these lessons can resonate with us as we navigate our own conflicts today. Don't miss this fascinating exploration of history, education, and the power of following your own unique path in life.
