BOTH OVINGTON AND DUBOIS SERVED IN CRUCIAL ROLES AT THE NAACP FOR DECADES, HELPING GUIDE ITS POLICIES AND PROGRAMS.
"I belive that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers, varying in time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development."
W.E.B. DUBOIS
