The University Libraries Annual Fall Reception celebrates the recent PBS documentary film W. E. B. Du Bois: Rebel With A Cause with the film’s director, Rita Coburn. Joining Coburn will be some of the scholars who participated in the film, sharing what it took to bring this project and Du Bois’s story to life, including collaboration with the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center, which provided access to images, letters, scrapbooks, and other artifacts from the W. E. B. Du Bois Papers.

Presented by University Libraries in partnership with the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center and the W. E. B. Du Bois Center. Sponsored by the UMass Amherst Foundation and the Fine Arts Center.
