The W.E.B. Du Bois Center in Ghana is a significant memorial honoring the legacy of an outstanding American politician, activist, and author. Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois dedicated his life to advancing civil rights, particularly for Africans. In October of his life, he decided to travel to Ghana to document African history. This resulted in three volumes of literature about various African countries, which he wrote before his death at the age of 93.
The museum, housed in his former home, offers a fascinating glimpse into his life, including a luxurious green bathroom from his time. It also houses most of his extensive writings.
A prominent symbol associated with Du Bois is the spiderweb. This motif, representing the central elements of human connection and endeavor, is found in many textiles and decorative items throughout the community. A mausoleum containing Dr. Du Bois's remains is also located nearby. It was preserved with respect by Du Bois and his second wife.
