Question

Until he left the United States in 1961, DuBois continued to work toward a higher path for black people. He ran for the Senate in 1950 on the American Labor Party ticket, but he lost the election. In his later life, DuBois was invited to Ghana, Africa, to work on the Encyclopedia Africana. DuBois and his wife seized the opportunity and moved to Ghana. DuBois passed away in 1963 while living in Ghana, just one day before Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. Why did W.E.B. DuBois move to Ghana?

A) to escape segregation
B) to work on a literary project
C) to protest against US politics
D) to hear Martin Luther King speak

Answer 1

W.E.B. DuBois moved to Ghana to protest against US politics and continue his fight for racial justice and equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

W.E.B. DuBois moved to Ghana to protest against US politics. In his later life, DuBois became disillusioned with what he saw as a lack of progress on racial equality in the United States. He renounced his American citizenship, joined the Communist party, and relocated to Ghana. By moving to Ghana, DuBois sought to distance himself from the segregation and discrimination he experienced in the US and continue his fight for racial justice and equality.
