living with inner elegance
In today's world, appearance often takes precedence over substance. However, true elegance encompasses more than just external beauty. It is about graceful behavior and authentic solutions that align mind, body, and spirit. My mission is to create a sanctuary where we can support each other in making the world a more elegant place in every sense of the word.
The mission of the W.E.B. Du Bois Center for Freedom and Democracy is to educate the public about the life and legacy of civil rights pioneer W.E.B. Du Bois and the rich African American heritage of the Berkshires.
Located at the former Clinton A.M.E. Zion Church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where he was born and raised, this vibrant center of Black thought and remembrance constitutes the first museum and living memorial in North America dedicated to Du Bois’ life and legacy.
