FREEDOMWAYS                   SECOND QUARTER 1973

Kraus Reprint Co., New York. The first volume is a complete, annotated bibliography of Du Bois's writings by Herbert Aptheker. Philip Foner has edited two volumes of Du Bois's published speeches. Meyer Weinberg, Julius Lester, Walter Wilson and Andrew G. Paschal have edited four Du Bois readers. Henry Lee Moon and Daniel Walden have edited two books of essays and editorials by Du Bois from The Crisis magazine which he edited from 1910 to 1934. Three books edited by the editors of Freedomways, Lily Golden and Rayford W. Logan respectively give evaluations of Du Bois. There are other fairly recent books about Du Bois for adults, children and young people by Leslie A. Lacy, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Emma Gelders Sterne, and Virginia Hamilton. All of these plus the many hardback and paperback reprint editions of virtually all of Du Bois's many books are fitting treatment of probably the greatest intellectual that the U.S. has produced.)
