At Princeton, she majored in Sociology and had a minor in African-American Studies. She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her bunny, Penelope. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXCERPT FROM THE BOOK \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDu Bois, author, educator, philosopher, and civil activist, wrote The Souls of Black Folk. Some of the chapters are written based on his personal experience. Throughout the book, he refers to himself in the first person. The book is very personal to him; it's more than just a sociological text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooker T. Washington \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington was the first black man to visit the White House as a guest. His Atlanta Compromise, in which he emphasized industrial education over formal education and submission over protest, was widely popular around the time Du Bois published The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois dedicates an entire chapter to criticizing Washington's role in the plight of black people at that time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosie \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosie is one of Du Bois's students in rural Tennessee. She wants to learn and wants to get ahead in life. Du Bois recognizes the qualities of a great leader within her. But she is held back because she is the primary source of economic and spiritual goods in her household. When Josie dies, Du Bois senses tragedy not just in the fact that she died but because of the potential that went with her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuy a copy to continue reading!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER OUTLINE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuicklet: W.E.B.
