The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois

5.0

---

I was lucky to have had a history teacher that was honest about how black folks were screwed over after abolition but reading this was a completely different experience. Maybe its cause I listened to the audio book but it felt so personal, like my granddad was telling me about his life. I will for sure be reading it again to pick up on some more of this raw openness that I might have missed the first time.
