This volume explores the civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois's repeated returns to, and shifting views of, the life and works of Cicero. In putting the two thinkers in conversation, the volume reveals fresh insights into both of their oeuvres and elucidates how Du Bois activated ancient literature in his life-long fight against racism.
