In this March 2024 interview, Dr. Jonathan Michael Square delves into how examining historical figures like W.E.B. Du Bois through the lens of fashion yields fresh insights.
Dr. Square traces Du Bois' evolving fashion sense across nearly a century of life, spanning from the era of Reconstruction to the Civil Rights movement's dawn, shedding light on the significance of how Du Bois' presented himself.
Join us for Dr. Square's presentation, "The Measure of a Man: Double Consciousness and the Fashioning of W.E.B. Du Bois," on Thursday, April 11 at Rosecliff, part of our Spring Lecture Series.
