The Great People of the
20th Century
In 1900 DuBois predicted that the "color line" would be one of the chief problems of the new century. The noted educator's approach became known a "Pan-Africanism."
In 1908 a redwood grove near San Francisco, CA. was designated as Muir Woods in honor of the naturalist and conservationist.
Muir was previously honored with a 5 cent postage stamp in 1964.
