The Du Bois Legacy Committee is busy planning the 153rd birthday commemoration of Dr. Du Bois's birth, with online events on both Feb. 21st and on the actual birthday date of Feb. 23rd. Very excited that the Mahaiwe Theatre will be sponsoring this, and filming some of it in the Theater itself. Stay tuned for more information!

This is wonderful!! Dr. Gordon came to our 150th anniversary celebration of the birth of native son W. E. B. Du Bois at the Mahaiwe Theater in Feb., 2018. Two seats down from him is the man who is paying ALL the student debt for those graduates of Moorehouse College!!

Congratulations to Edmund W. Gordon (pictured below left) on receiving an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree last Saturday at Morehouse College. Dr. Gordon is a leading psychologist and professor emeritus at Yale and Columbia universities.

In 1967, he purchased (with Walter White) what is now the W.E.B. Du Bois Boyhood Homesite in Great Barrington to create a memorial to his friend and mentor. The two subsequently established the Du Bois Memorial Foundation and eventually turned the property over to the state under the stewardship of UMass Amherst. Dr. Gordon was in Great Barrington in 2018 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Dr. Du Bois's birth.
