Answer:
Explanation:Du Bois, W. E. B. (23 February 1868–27 August 1963), African-American activist, historian, and sociologist, was born William Edward Burghardt Du Bois in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the son of Mary Silvina Burghardt, a domestic worker, and Alfred Du Bois, a barber and itinerant laborer. In later life Du Bois made a close study of his family origins, weaving them rhetorically and conceptually—if not always accurately—into almost everything he wrote. Born in Haiti and descended from Bahamian mulatto slaves, Alfred Du Bois enlisted during the Civil War as a private in a New York regiment of the Union army but appears to have deserted shortly afterward. He also deserted the family less than two years after his son’s birth, leaving him to be reared by his mother and the extended Burghardt kin. Long resident in New England, the Burghardts descended from a freedman of Dutch slave origin who had fought briefly in the American Revolution. Under the care of his mother and her relatives, young Will Du Bois spent his entire childhood in that small western Massachusetts town, where probably fewer than two-score of the 4,000 inhabitants were African American. He received a classical, college preparatory education in Great Barrington’s racially integrated high school, from whence, in June 1884, he became the first African-American graduate. A precocious youth, Du Bois not only excelled in his high school studies but contributed numerous articles to two regional newspapers, the Springfield Republican and the black-owned New York Globe, then edited by T. Thomas Fortune.
DuBois was correct in using strong language to describe how America insults blacks.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- DuBois was a black man who fought for the rights and freedoms of the black population.
- He worked to combat racism and discrimination, showing how these were elements encouraged in America that demoralized and harmed blacks very intensely.
- DuBois was very vocal about the way blacks were treated in the country and he wished that those who listened to him would feel repulsed by that kind of treatment.
- For that reason, he used very strong language that presented racism and discrimination in their ugliest forms.
As a black man, DuBois knew how difficult life among racist people was and that's why he used such strong language in his speech because racism was something very ugly and hard to face.
