Its driving force and first president was Alexander Crummell, then 78 years old, who was an Episcopal clergyman, writer, educator and missionary and certainly the preeminent black intellectual of the 19th century. The Academy included such giants as W. E. B. Du Bois whose "Conservation of Races" (1897) was the second publication.
