Sample Frederic Chopin was a celebrated pianist and probably the greatest composer for the piano the world has ever known. He loved music from babyhood and when his family moved to Warsaw a few years after his birth, he was placed under the tutelage of the best masters of music in Poland. The story is told of his early years through the momentous day in Vienna when his playing at the theatre of Count Gallenburg actually launched his career as a major figure in the world of music.Frederick Chopin, The Early Years

Sample Chopin returned to Vienna to find only a cool welcome awaiting him. Vienna wanted to dance and sing and forget war...and Poland was on the brink of war. In Paris, however, Chopin found himself warmly welcomed; his concerts became the vogue; his days were crowded with both gaiety and the work he loved. Years passed and the world hailed his greatest compositions. Then ill health began making inroads on his time and at the peak of his career, the great composer and pianist died in Paris.Frederick Chopin, The Later Years

In 1924, William Edward Burghardt (W.E.B.) Du Bois (1868-1963) penned The Gift of Black Folk in response to systemic racism in the United States, showing that “...the American spirit is a new and interesting result of diverse threads of thought and feeling coming not only from America but from Europe and Asia and indeed from Africa.” Du Bois was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and later became a professor of history, sociology, and economics at Atlanta University. In 1909 he co-founded the NAACP. Du Bois was a lifelong leader and proponent of civil rights.Gift of Black Folk
