  “I believe in pride of race and lineage and self; in pride of self so deep as to scorn injustice to other selves.“Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.”“Strive for that greatness of spirit that measures life not by its disappointments but by its possibilities.”W. E. B. Du Bois was an American sociologist, socialist, historian and Pan-Africanist civil rights activist. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a relatively tolerant and integrated community, and after completing graduate work at the University of Berlin and Harvard, where he was the first African American to earn a doctorate, he became a professor of history, sociology, and economics at Atlanta University. Du Bois was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.Earlier, Du Bois had risen to national prominence as a leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who wanted equal rights for blacks. Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta compromise, an agreement crafted by Booker T. Washington which provided that Southern blacks would work and submit to white political rule, while Southern whites guaranteed that blacks would receive basic educational and economic opportunities. Instead, Du Bois insisted on full civil rights and increased political representation, which he believed would be brought about by the African-American intellectual elite. He referred to this group as the Talented Tenth, a concept under the umbrella of racial uplift, and believed that African Americans needed the chance for advanced education to develop their leadership.Racism was the main target of Du Bois's polemic, and he strongly protested against lynching, Jim Crow laws, and discrimination in education and employment. His cause included people of color everywhere, particularly Africans and Asians in colonies. He was a proponent of Pan-Africanism

  Sand scriptures

  I am nothing—nothing at all, just a single grain of sand, indistinguishable from millions of others. No thoughts, no purpose, no ambition. 
  But that changed when I awoke and embarked on a journey. 
  Upon my awakening, I was given form, consciousness, and a mission: to discover who—or what—I am. My holy quest: to defeat the forgotten stories that seek to destroy imagination...  
  I moved from the quiet sands of the shore that birthed me to a library, from where I climbed the Stairs of Circular Logic. These stairs led to various paths, and on one, I danced with forgotten gods. 
  Along the way, I faced beings of power and underwent trials that tested my essence. I confronted Despair, Pride, Lust, Greed, and Wrath. I grappled with Truth, Lies, and Death. 
  I lived, I learned, and now, I speak. 
  These are my scriptures. I have no name, but you may call me Silica, Silicon dioxide, SiO₂.
