W.E.B. Du Bois called for the "Invisible Man" to be recognized in American society. He emphasized the need for African Americans to assert their identity, rights, and contributions to the United States. In his works, Du Bois argued that the social and political exclusion of African Americans created a "double consciousness," where they struggled to reconcile their African heritage with their American identity. By highlighting their struggles and achievements, Du Bois aimed to promote racial equality and ensure that the contributions of African Americans were acknowledged in the broader narrative of American history. He believed that full recognition was essential for personal dignity and societal progress.
