About the Symposium
Now in its 33rd year, the Souls of Du Bois Symposium celebrates the enduring legacy of scholar and activist Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois through critical dialogue, research, and community engagement.

Each year, the symposium convenes students, faculty, alumni, and community members to explore themes of race, justice, liberation, and the transformative power of knowledge. The 2026 theme, “Knowledge, Freedom & Healing in Changing Times,” invites participants to reflect on how education, activism, and collective healing shape a just and equitable society.
