What is the du bois forum?

The Du Bois Forum serves as a retreat for writers, scholars, and artists engaged in the intellectual and artistic traditions that W.E.B. Du Bois cultivated. Founded in 2022, Du Bois Forum events have been made possible by the African American Trail Project at Tufts University, with the support of the Mellon Foundation, Great Barrington’s Du Bois Freedom Center, Jacob’s Pillow, Troutbeck, and additional university partners.
