Click right away. 20 years ago at a family reunion not just a family reunion it was a Du Bois Reunion. W.E.B is my great grandmother cousin

american history to me i hear a great america saying this i dont disagree with you. just wish we could accept that we all grew up here together and should try and be kind to one another and teach history accurately white history and black history go together same with native american history and asian history hispanic history as well. arent all of these things the culminating factors in what is AMERICAN history! our country from inception went beyond race in our ideals look up the first draft of the declaration of independence only 2 colonies denied the abolition of slavery and all the other went along because they agreed toi make a unanimous vote and sadly were forced to compromise or lose to the british. the true history is so complicated and our educational system has dumbed down history to the point it mention about 15 events and thats it we need equally and accurately represented history so kids dont grow up hating each other because they only hear half the story. i truly hope you understand my point here isnt to naysay or criticize but to point out we all played positive and negative parts in history, god bless and stay safe.

It is so gratifying to hear Du Bois in his own voice speak about his life. He is truly one of the giants of 5he 20th century. I am amazed by the depth of his knowledge and his foresight. There is much to be gleaned from his writings today. He succeeded despite all the barriers faced a black during his time.

What an inspirational person.

This is the first time I'm hearing the voice of black intellectual I've read so much about. Keep up the great work Reelblack, this is a true gem.

This is the most wonderful gift to hear his voice and his memories. I just attended the 114th NAACP National Convention. His work continues and still relevant. Thank you so much for posting.

It is wonderful to hear Du Bois speak in his own voice. He is truly one of the intelectual giants of the 20th century. He was so far ahead of his times.

Sadly, the USA as a nation never recognized his intellectual achievements and genuine activism to improve ALL people living conditions regardless of race and ethnicity....ect. Abolishing racism would better for all of us. Thanks for posting this impressive person telling his life story coherently and methodically at age 93...just amazing

When W.E.B. DuBois speak, he sound like a very educated man and he known how to read Greek, Latin and could speak German since he also spend time in Germany but still most of his life DuBois spend his time fighting for freedom of African Americans against segregation and also for Africans against colonial rule.

@@bailechuind6194 I do admire Book T Washington who set up university and taught black people to be self reliance but he did not encourage to be agitated for full human rights. But want us black people to have skill for the job market but was largely vocational trade. For W.E.B. Dubois feel black people should get liberal higher education and should up front demanded for equal rights, to protest against segregation and lynching. He belief strongly for integration in American society and all fields but at same time he was pan-Africanist who protest against European colonial rule over Africa, which in the end he move to Africa and died in free nation of Ghana. Dubois was born in north after Civil War who gain more opportunities compare with Washington who was born in slavery and from the south, so he was more cautious of what to say, but at times he did speak out against lynching and his school was his base against racism.

Dubois do like many of Washington method but he feel that was to slow and not focus much on higher education. But Booker T Washington wants African Americans to have foundation to deal with the industrial society of early 20th century and he did have famous scientist as you know George Washington Carver who help save the south with his agriculture methods of saving from soil erosions.

I agree with you what your recent posted and I may not be clear on understand all the detailer's between the two man but I notice Marcus Garvey admire Washington more then Dubois for focusing on self reliance. Garvey was against Dubois for integration in mainstream American society but Dubois was Pan-Africanist which should have something in common with Garvey more then Book T Washington who dose know that Black people from Africa and had South African students but belief in hope of American society according to his book Up from Slavery, but in his other book I do not remember the title but is about education Washington admire one of the professor who is proud of his African ancestry and mention it would be nice to trace his family tree to Africa but he did belief that Africans was illiterate heathen savages before coming to American slave plantations.

Thank you for this audiobook, he paved the way for many Harvard graduates, African Americans, (Negroes, Coloreds, Blacks) including myself.

History is written by winners. Cherish the pearls of truth but focus on the youth believing in themselves. In this video, one big take away for me was "facts dont matter" and i agree. I tried living my life being fact based, but it gets you mixed results at best. What matters is the argument of persuasion. Like him, being around varied types of people and cultures helped me the most learn about the world and my role in it.

Imagine if he was allowed to teach in White universities , the impact he would have on American Academy. Its sad how much racism cost this country? A brilliant underutilized mind at his time who despite all difficulties managed to research and write books we still read and teach 100 years later .

What he warned African nations about at the end is exactly what they ended up doing except instead of the US it is China. Also him stating that he didn’t think Africans would be greedy at the top becoming millionaires and cater to the millionaires of the US and Europe while ignoring growth in Africa was prophetic. That is exactly what has went on since then and continues today.
