For this upcoming Wednesday, 9/9, please read the first chapter "Of Our Spiritual Strivings" in Du Bois's text The Souls of Black Folk, which I will distribute during our class meeting today, 9/2. I have included a link to the entire text, should you be interested in reading further. I would highly, highly recommend that you read the next two chapters "Of the Dawn of Freedom" and "Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others". You'll find many things illuminated between Du Bois' words, feelings, and argument with that of Obama's sentiments and general narrative in his text Dreams.
While the document may indeed be read below, perhaps it would be easier to find the book in the original context on Google Books... To do this click on the "More about this book link". Follow that to pop-up page. There you should see a headline named "Book overview". You're going to click the link titled "Read this book". Also, conveniently you can download the book, in its entirety, as a PDF document.
Enjoy!
