The Du Bois Institute continues to be an exciting nexus of research, publications, and events. I am delighted to say that the Du Bois Institute is now housed in a new and wonderful location at Harvard University. For the first time in its history, all of the Du Bois Institute's projects and staff are under one roof, providing us with an even greater opportunity for cross-fertilization and intellectual synergy between projects and scholars. Established in 1975, we are the nation's oldest research center devoted to the study of African and African American history and culture.

Our activities include the following:

High School Outreach Projects
Martin Luther King, Jr. After-School Program
W. E. B. Du Bois Society

Periodicals
Transition
Du Bois Review: Social Science on Race

Research Projects
African AIDS Initiative International, Inc.

Our four annual lecture series continue and again we will be offering the Alain LeRoy Locke, W. E. B Du Bois, Nathan I. Huggins, and McMillan Stewart Lecture Series.

Fellows Program: Up to twenty scholars are invited annually to the Institute for a Fellowship year of research and writing.

The Du Bois Institute's new location also includes the Neil L. and Angelica Zander Rudenstine Gallery which presents many works of art from the past, as well as art from new and inspiring artists. It also features the John Hope Franklin Library, the Alphonse Fletcher, Jr. Conference Room, and the Martin L. Kilson, Jr. and Archie C. Epps, III Conference Room.

We are always deeply appreciative of the financial support we receive for our programmatic and research endeavors. We hope that you will join our circle.

Best wishes,
