Certainly deserves to be revisited in the future. Chapter 9 in particular should be printed out and used to wallpaper every statehouse in the nation, Congress included. Nicely narrated by Rodney Gardiner.

wow this was truly incredibly written. i was expecting cut and dry socio-political dialogue which i struggle with sometimes but what i got was so much more. it was a story along with theory, Du Bois portrayed resilience and struggle and this is the first time i haven’t put a book down for multiple hours in a while. The use of black folk music throughout the essays was so powerful.
