A Wreath Laying Ceremony was held in honour of the scholar, historian and pan-Africanist, who died in Ghana.

The date 23.02.2023 is very significant. It marked the 155th anniversary of the late Civil Rights leader W. E. B Du Bois.

According to the website, ‘The Centre is a complex of four major buildings which include the home where Dr. DuBois spent his last years, an Administrative building, the Marcus Garvey Guest House (simple rooms from $40 / Bed & Breakfast) and the tomb of Dr. DuBois and his dear wife Shirley Graham DuBois'.

In his own words: Autobiography of W.E.B DuBois
