There is an image of Du Bois in color by Carl Van Vechten taken in July of 1946. Can we use this instead of the current image since this is better quality
As per the previous edit request from 8 August 2024, Du Bois was an early supporter of Zionism that eventually turned Anti-Zionist, I don't think he should be included in the category of "American Zionist". What does everyone think? Eunicemf98 (talk) 23:37, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was going off the previous edit that was made it that section. I tried to access the article that is linked but unfortunately it is not accessible, which seems to defeat the purpose of having it tIere... is there any other way to access it? Thank you Eunicemf98 (talk) 10:38, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned before, a group of newly uploaded images of Du Bois that are relatively high quality are pretty good, and I think that we should honestly change the image. While not the biggest issue, I think it could be important to show a color image of one of the most important African Americans in the 20th century as that was one of his defining features that changed his life and contributed to his life's work
The current image is fine, and comprehensively illustrates the subject how they are remembered by the public. It's worth outlining this is part of a wave of efforts to swap out consensus images on these well-developed biographies by the OP in a manner that continues to reflect their aesthetic biases with no clear concern for how we actually select these images.

DuBois's Wikipedia page says he came to Atlanta University after World War II. However, this is incorrect. An entry in the New Georgia Encyclopedia states "During two extended stays in Atlanta, 1897-1910 and 1934-44, Du Bois contributed immensely to the Black intellectual and activist community and produced a number of studies that explored the social, economic, and political conditions of African Americans in Georgia and across the United States.
