W.E.B. Du Bois said, on the launch of his groundbreaking 1903 treatise, The Souls of Black Folk, “for the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line”, a prescient statement. Setting out to show to the reader “the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the twentieth century,” Du Bois explains the meaning of the emancipation, and its effect, and his views on the roles of the leaders of his race.
My Thoughts:Required reading for any Afro-American scholar. I simply could not put this book down. Well recommended.

Just a simply guy who sees goodness in most and constantly in search of all that is beautiful, good, and true. I have very few hangups, save the fact that I am fiercely intolerant of BS and people who deal in delusions. I consider myself unselfish, always ready to give a hand when I see the need. I am also equally unforgiving of those who take advantage of the goodness of others. Learning is a passion of mine. My primary field is Mathematics, but my passion goes well beyond that. I read a great deal, I also enjoy Philosophy, History, Computing/Technology and Contemporary World Affairs (mainly Politico-Military). I am pretty guarded with my privacy, but you can learn more about me by hitting the button at the top - "All About Me" and you can hit me up on Skype...my username is "Rupdawg" or check me out at any of my Social links under "Don't Stalk Me" below.
