"One feels his two-ness—an American, a Negro—two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings—in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder."
W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk (1903)
Join us for a compelling lecture with Seattle University Professor, Dr. Saheed Adejumobi! Together, we’ll examine W.E.B. Du Bois’ revolutionary work, The Souls of Black Folks, its relevance in contemporary America, and more. Connect historical perspectives with present-day realities in the ongoing pursuit of justice and self-determination in this month's iteration of In the Classroom.
