Why Chosen

When I read W.E.B Du Bois's The Soul of Black Folks in a Sociology class during my undergraduate studies, I vowed to be a Professor of Sociology. Du Bois is an architect of American and Black Sociology. His theory and methods continue to be a cornerstone to Critical Black scholarship. This book was a turning point for me, and continues to guide my scholarship.
