To the editor:
The more I learn about W.E.B. Du Bois, the more in awe I am—a the more I love that a sculpture of him will be in front of the public library.
Du Bois was an activist for justice and peace, and he was a scholar, writer, researcher, and editor. He believed deeply in the importance of education.
Thank you to the independent group of local citizens who are raising funds and organizing to put a sculpture of W.E.B. Du Bois in front of the public library in Great Barrington, the town where he was born in 1868.
What a wonderful place—in front of the public home for books—for the sculpture to be.
