The Contributions Of William Clark And Camp River Dubois

W.E.B DuBois, a well known civil liberties advocate, in his speech, Niagara Movement, illuminates the need for racial equality in America. DuBois’ purpose is to call white Americans to action, as well as highlight the effects of the African American’s white superiors excluding them from simple, constitutionally given, liberties. He adopts an authoritative tone in order to establish a feeling of guilt for the white people who determine the rights given to African-Americans. W.E.B DuBois convinces his audience that African-Americans should become equal on a social, economical and political level, through the use of emotional diction, reasonable ideas and a dominant tone.

Louis. From there they sailed up to the Wood River where they established Camp Dubois for the winter. Lewis and Clark completed their preparation during the winter by buying supplies, over hauling their boats, drilling their men, and completing their roster. A total of twenty-five soldiers and twenty civilian boatmen, guides, and hunters were selected for the expedition. Lewis estimated this journey would last at least two years. Finally on May 14, 1804 the expedition began.

W.E.B. DuBois’ “Returning Soldiers,” an editorial piece written in May of 1919 for the NAACP’s publication The Crisis lays out for not just returning soldiers, but for African-Americans as a whole that the war is not over. While the Great War of 1914-1918 may have ended, there is still a greater war to continue to fight on the American homefront. “Returning Soldiers” calls out the United States government on the charges against its people as seen by DuBois and reiterates and rejuvenates the reader for the fight it still needs to take on. The black man soldier may have escaped the battlefields of France and now be able to shed the uniform that symbolizes the systematic injustices he faced, but upon returning, in his “civil garb” he is still a soldier, only in a different military.

On May 14th, 1804 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark start their three year expedition across the Louisiana Purchase. They started in Camp River Dubois, east of the Mississippi river. They sailed all the way up the Missouri river. When the Great Falls came up, they had to get out of the boat and split up. William Clark and four dozen other men went on the

Lewis and Clark were able to cover many miles before The Missouri River froze . Four days after the first snowfa ll, they reached the Mandan tribe's villages, where they planned to spend the winter. Without stopping,the members began to build a fort for protection against the snow and attack by the Sioux. Before the end of November, when ice wa s already running in the river, the fort was finished. Temperatures dropped to below QQF and guards, watching the entire fort, had to be relieved every 30 minutes. The expedition's food supplies soon began to run low. To make it through the winter, the

North of St. Louis, in Mississippi and Missouri rivers, William Clark established “ Camp River Dubois” in 1803 on December. Lewis spent time in St. Louis talking with traders about Missouri upper regions and also started to obtain maps of the area while Clark stat at the camp recruiting and training men.Clark left with the Corps of Discovery on May 14, 1804 and then was joined by Lewis in St. Charles. There was more than forty-five people in the party and they also costed of young, unmarried soldiers, a French-Indian interpreter, unmarried soldiers, and Clark’s Black slave York.

Lewis and Clark both began the expedition at the city of St. Louis on May 14, 1804. They had a over 40 men with them for the trip. One of this men was Clark's slave York. He would become one of the first black man to cross North America. They packed many equipments including food, rifles, and warm clothing. They even bought glass beads and trinkets to trade with the American Indians along the

On February 23, 1868 in the town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, William Edward Burghardt DuBois was born. He was the only child of Alfred and Mary Silvina DuBois. Alfred was a native of Haiti who worked as a barber. Mary, a domestic worker, was of African and Dutch ancestry (Holt, 2000)

Civil rights leaders such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Dubois and Ida B. Wells played a major role in helping to elevate African Americans. Each one of these fearless leaders individually took on the task to ensure that blacks would be treated fairly. It was hard for me to decide who had the greatest impact because each one them had a different method and focus but in my opinion have equally impacted later generations whether many realize it or not. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a woman who from an early age endured adversity. Many people think that Rosa Parks was the first woman to refuse to give up her seat but in my study I learned that this had been done several times years prior by and many others. Ida used the court case as an opportunity

On May 14, 1804, Lewis began the expedition with his partner, William Clark, “and their group of 40 men, collectively known as the Corps of Discovery.” They started their expedition at the mouth of the Missouri River, about 18 miles from St. Louis, where they “launched their pirogues and keelboat.” On the day of their launch, Clark wrote this in their journal: “I set out at 4 o’clock P.M. in the presence of many of the Neighbouring inhabitents, and proceeded on under a jentle brease up the Misourie to the upper Point of the 1st Island 4 Miles and Camped on the which is Situated Close on the right (or Starboard) Side, and opposite the mouth of a Small Creek called Cold water, a heavy rain this afternoon.”5 [Lewis, Meriwether, William Clark,

W.E.B Du Bois, born in 1868, grew up in Massachusetts distant from the racial problems of the South. Enjoying a happy childhood, in a mostly white community, he did not realize until later in his boyhood that he was different due to skin color. Du Bois was highly intelligent, and had many academic accomplishments, maintaining degrees from: Fisk University, Harvard, and the University of Berlin. He dedicated his life to fighting for the political and civil rights for the African American race. Referencing the white race, Du Bois says he was “shut out from their world by a vast veil” (531). What exactly is this veil, and what has it prevented his race from accomplishing?

W.E Dubois was conceived by the name of William Edward Burghardt , he was conceived in February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington Massachusetts. He lives in a couple places, for example, Atlanta Georgia and New York City. He learned at three distinct schools which were Fisk Universality , Harvard University , and University of Berlin. When he chose to head off to college the congregation that he was a piece of which was First Congregational Church of Great Barrington raised cash to pay for his educational cost. The HBCU he went to , Fisk University he moved on from that point in 1888. In 1892 DuBois got an association from a system at go to the University of Berlin for master's level college. When he was an understudy in Berlin he voyaged a considerable measure around Europe. In 1894 he got a few employment offers including one from a prestigious Tuskegee establishment so he acknowledged a showing work at Wilberforce University in Ohio.

river to avoid conflict. Lewis and Clark had also wintered with the Mandan Natives in December

The South, whether the Old South or the New, was—and some may argue is to this day—a harbor for convictions that nurtured what encompassed government-sanctioned intolerance in contradiction of different classes of peoples purely for the reason of abhorring them, yet, not surprisingly and for obvious reasons, it was also a home to a dream of self-determination, of pride, and a union of altruism for a common good. With respects to the latter, however, were two spectrums, strikingly similar, yet certainly distinctive. On the one hand, the public was first presented with W. E. B. Du Bois, an intelligent man who advocated for the birthrights and political participation in government, among other rights, of the black man and the public was also introduced to Stokely Carmichael who, like Du Bois, advocated strongly for all rights and opportunities absent in his community. Notably, there is little doubt that Du Bois and Carmichael shared commonality, but there is no absence of reason to suspect both contrasted

Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois had a very stringent view of the New Negro Arts movement. He held the idea that “all art is propaganda and ever must be despite the wailing of the purists” (19). Du Bois’ assertion that all art is to exist solely within the political context of propagating the people resulted in a very apparent divide within the community of the New Negro Arts Movement. Additionally, it clouded his judgment in terms of remaining objective while assessing the validity, quality, relevance, and importance of various pieces of art and literature produced during this movement. Fundamentally, within the context of the New Negro Arts Movement, the racial climate of the early 20th century, and the beliefs and practices of Du Bois, the idea of
