The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. DU BOIS read by toriasuncle | Full Audio Book

[@alejandrokaplan7243]

You know how long he lived he was born in the mid 1800s and died a year before the civil rights act was passed so that means he saw the rise of European empires, the first and second world wars and the decolonization, it would be incredible to have been able to speak to him

[@KevinFreist]

he is a Boule member of the highest order. rethink your position after you research what i just stated. all fact . sobering and frightening.

[@chemicaltennant19]

in sociology we call him the jim crow sociologist, because he was alive for the entirety of the jim crow period.

A citizen of the world until the end, the 93-year-old Du Bois moved to Ghana to manage the project, acquiring citizenship of the African country in 1961. Du Bois died in Ghana on Aug. 27, 1963, the day before the historic March on Washington.

I am the Director of the African American Center, here in Olean, NY and I am listening to this seminal historic work while putting together an exhibit of Black Women in History in our Center and I wish I could explain how inspirationally charged the combination of listening to DuBois while creating an event to share our Black History is...I just wish I had the words.

I’m moved, I listened as I painted a portrait which had no real direction except for primary colors and basic shapes. I’m so happy that I thought to listen to and absorb the words of Mr. Du Bois, this lesson added depth to all of that which is me.

I look Asian, but adopted into immigrant Italian family (one side) & British, French, German who had established self as candy vendor in Detroit, my great grandmother a madam in a brothel---my god! I was raised with all the ideas in this book but my parents certainly didn't read this (my mom didn't go to college until 40s & something she always wanted to do) so when I went to university, it just clicked. This has TO BE TAUGHT IN PRIMARY so kids can realize every day that they don't have to do what their peers are doing because how does racism continue? The lack of care of others & recognition life is easier if not seen as "less than" to begin with.

[@margaretnewton6409]

"Black History is American History", it's excellent to learn of both. Dr. DuBois left his sincere thoughts, and publically labored tirelessly, on the behalf of honest fairness for Black Americans. His facts, and his perspectives, clearly point out truth. The failings and triumps, of both Black and White people of those years, is obviously clear. The audio reader is awesome, thank you Librivox.

[@KevinFreist]

wrong ! look up Boule. do it today. read for at least 2 hours and don't be lazy about it. your future depends on it. plenty of data to find. color and money are tools of the parasite elites . most believe their lies in plain sight.

I began my relationship with Du Bois in grade 6. He was all I had not: father, mentor... He was a founder of the NAACP and started its magazine, The Crisis. I thought he'd gone to Ghana at 95 for an earthly reward. He went to the home of Kwame Nkrumah. Examining his life, his work, is like returning to a poem at various stages of your life.

What a profound reflection-thank you for sharing. Du Bois has a way of becoming a lifelong companion to those who engage with his work.

Heartbreaking. I wonder whether the folk and others actually read or audio read from start to finish. A sobering and honest book. Sad for my people who survived the middle passage only to endure centuries of brutal chattel slavery, violence towards the proud and literate, a failed Reconstruction due to white backlash after the war to end slavery was won and millions of lives lost fighting a just cause, then misery piled upon misery as we were reduced to destitute peons and a walking dead existence in the South.
