I have to be honest.

I had a hard time getting into this book. The first chapter pulled me in, but the following chapters nearly scared me away. So much history. So much storytelling. I wasn't ready. But that therein lies the brilliance of Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk.

Imagine asking an African-American professor to explain racism in the U.S. to you. Instead of walking up to the whiteboard and seeking to draw out every analytical point regarding the subject, the instructor invites you on a spontaneous road trip. You and the instructor then drive through the post Civil War South, and he explains visually every example, remnant and byproduct of racism in the South. This is what The Souls of Black Folk is. It's almost like reading the script of a documentary in which Du Bois takes the listener through the history of Emancipation, Reconstruction and the modern-day Black experience. Though it is often extremely dense, Du Bois's prose is so strong, and his empathy and heartbreak permeate so many of his essays. Many will have difficulty accompanying Du Bois in the entirety of this metaphorical "road trip," but to those that stay the course, you will not walk away from his writings the same. They will change you, and your heart will ache for the unseen, undervalued and marginalized in today's society.

It's really puzzling, though maybe not surprising, that the white versions of Black History begin and end with the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century. Black History is American History, it's fundamentally tied to the systems of governmentality we find today. The Souls of Black Folk feels more like a conversation with W.E.B. Dubois, something deeply personal and intimate. If we don't center Black History, we will probably never know and affirm the ways Black people have improved our lives, our music, art, literature, medicine, cuisine, and more. Writer, Poet, sociologist, activist, pan-Africanist, socialist and agitator. While serving with the NAACP at the beginning of the 20th century, he founded The Crisis, a magazine showcasing Black writers and creators. He wrote scathing critiques of Whiteness. He later became a naturalized citizen of Ghana, consistently with his long held pan-African goals. Pan-Africanism is a restorative practice of solidarity and support for all people of indigenous to African and of African ancestry in diaspora. . . . #webdubois #reparations #panafricanism #restorativejustice #naacp #thecrisis #soulsofblackfolk #blackhistory #blacknow #blackfutures #blackfuturesmatter #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #knowyourhistory #alwaysaskwhosmissing https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXf7kBjaPX/?igshid=1o16libknrekn

3/30: Part of the required reading in my college Humanities courses was The Souls of Black Folk, by WEB Dubois. He was writing about the 20th century, but so much of his writings are still relevant today. Including this quote. He’s a good place to start if you’re looking to learn. . Want to help?
