stifled her sighs.
The white world's vermin and filth:

DuBois couldn’t help but write original, incredibly trenchant, well-researched essays. Not worse than Souls of Black Folk.
It felt like I probably should have read The Souls of Black Folks before this, to have an easier introduction to Du Bois. But regardless, this small collection of essays, poetry, and creative nonfiction ripped into me. Feels like it could have been written today, really - a straight line of clear an
"These are the things of which men think, who live: of their own selves and the dwelling place of their fathers; of their neighbors; of work and service; of rule and reason and women and children; of Beauty and Death and War. To this thinking I have only to add a point of view: I have been in the wo
