点评:The W. E. B. Dubois Museum pays tribute to an American politician, activist, and author who focused on coming to advance civil rights in Africa, especially Ghana. Interestingly, DuBois chose to come to Ghana at 92 years of age with the intention of recording African history. He wrote 3 volumes covering a few of the African countries before his death at age 93. The museum is based in his previous home so an interesting feature is the green bathroom with bathtub, considered quite luxurious in his days. The museum houses most of his extensive writing.
Because of his initials WEB, the symbol of DuBois is the spider web with a central core and all people and projects extending out with central unity. Several places in the community utilize the spider web motif in textiles and decor.
The masoleum is a new structure that respectfully hosts the remains of Dr DuBois and his second wife.
翻译:W. E. B. 杜波依斯博物馆向一位致力于推动非洲(尤其是加纳)民权运动的美国政治家、活动家和作家致敬。有趣的是,杜波依斯在 92 岁时选择来到加纳,目的是记录非洲历史。他在 93 岁去世前写了三卷书,涵盖了几个非洲国家。博物馆设在他以前的住所,因此一个有趣的特色是带浴缸的绿色浴室,在他那个时代被认为是相当豪华的。博物馆收藏了他的大部分著作。
由于他的首字母缩写为 WEB,杜波依斯的象征是蜘蛛网,其中心是核心,所有人和项目都以中心统一的方式向外延伸。社区中的几个地方在纺织品和装饰中都使用了蜘蛛网图案。
这座陵墓是一座新建筑,用来尊敬地安放杜波依斯博士和他的第二任妻子的遗体。
