Frank Wu presented a lecture at Tuft's biomedical center during which he challenged the audience to think beyond the old notions of race, framed only in terms of black & white. Professor Wu pointed out that W.E.B. Du Bois' often quoted comment about the "color-line" in his book, "The Souls of Black Folk," is only the first part of a complete sentence. The entire quote is, "The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line,--the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea."
