The only possible death is to lose belief...

Last year a Ghanaian artist painted a letter from Dr. DuBois to Dr. Nkrumah, Ghana's first President, on the wall of the small museum that sits next to the memorial.

"One thing alone I charge you. As you live, believe in Life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. The only possible death is to lose belief in this truth simply because the great end comes slowly, because time is long."

-Du Bois' last statement to the world - 1963. Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana on August 27, 1963.
