The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
5.0

Reading Rush: A book that starts with "the"

Wow. I did not know much about W.E.B. Du Bois except the fact he was an activist. I did a little research before reading this. By little I mean a 10 minute YouTube video and small article. This man was born right after the slaves were "freed", Jim Crow, The Great Depression, WWI, WWII and the start the the Civil Rights movement in the 60's. Saying this holy crap. He had so much wisdom, he was very intelligent and a lot of what was said in this book is still relevant today. He talks about prisons, education, life in Georgia, and so much more. I really recommend everybody read this. I also enjoyed the small piece of music sheet at the beginning of each chapter.
