Join us for a discussion of The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois.

The title The Souls of Black Folk is on hold at the White Oak Library and can be picked up any time the library is open. It is also available on Hoopla as an e-book or e-audio. Synopsis from Goodreads:

This landmark book is a founding work in the literature of black protest. W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) played a key role in developing the strategy and program that dominated early 20th-century black protest in America. In this collection of essays, first published together in 1903, he eloquently affirms that it is beneath the dignity of a human being to beg for those rights that belong inherently to all mankind. He also charges that the strategy of accommodation to white supremacy advanced by Booker T. Washington, then the most influential black leader in America, would only serve to perpetuate black oppression.
