He was famous for the Economic bill of right, in which funds were given to improve education, jobs, housing and health care.

W.E.B DuBois

• Why does DuBois Believe the color line is the most important problem for American society? 

DuBois believe that the color line was American's greatest problem because of people individuality. People were individual rather than thinking that they were who they were because of society. There was a color barrier in the 20th century and people were very superstitious; were they will judge one another because of the race or appearance, before getting to know the person.
