W.E.B. Dubois Theory Of Democratic Government Tie

One of the first African American intellectuals in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, W.E.B. Dubois wrote on the question of race and challenged many people's assumptions in his time. Dubois was a American civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, historian, author, and editor. Recreated here on this necktie is a timeless quote on democratic government by W.E.B. Dubois: "The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience."
