What an Experience!

I’m not a all time reader so I found myself using audible. At first adjusting to narrations that seem bland or with too much exuberance. That ended when I found my ear worm which is the heartfelt and journey from the author Barrack Obama. It takes a lot to explain a lifestyle that hold more secrets than truth. Former president elect guides us to a world that ultimately changed ours. It’s graceful. It’s painful. It’s beautiful. It’s A promised Land. Thank you.

W.E.B. Du Bois said, on the launch of his groundbreaking 1903 treatise, The Souls of Black Folk, "for the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color-line", a prescient statement. Setting out to show to the audience "the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the 20th century", Du Bois explains the meaning of the emancipation, and its effect, and his views on the roles of the leaders of his race.
