Introduction

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963) was a sociologist, historian and most importantly a civil right activist. His writing, theories, books and ideas about the experiences of people of African American race in the United States has helped sociologists all across the globe to understand race and racial relations. Although in paper racial discrimination is prohibited and abolished, yet till date we find instances of race based discrimination and their impact on the mentality and behaviour of social individuals. By applying Du Bois's theory to the present day context, we can realize the importance of his theories and ideas.
