mollycrwillis 's review for:
The Souls of Black Folk
by W.E.B. Du Bois
“The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife, —this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self…He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American.”
“Yet the soul-hunger is there, the restlessness of the savage, the wail of the wanderer, and the pliant is put in one little phrase: ‘My soul wants something that’s new.’”
“Through all the sorrow of the Sorrow Songs there breathes a hope — a faith in the ultimate justice of things.”
“And the traveler girds himself, and sets his face toward the Morning, and goes his way.”
