along with others, helped form the NAACP

Answer 1

The statement "first African American to appear before the Supreme Court" is not an achievement of W.E.B. Du Bois. While he was a prominent civil rights activist, sociologist, and a co-founder of the NAACP, he did not hold the distinction of being the first African American to appear before the Supreme Court. That distinction is often attributed to African American lawyer and civil rights activist, such as John Mercer Langston, who was the first African American to argue a case before the Court in 1880.
