A Review of W.E.B. DuBois' "The Souls of Black Folks"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the cultural environment in which "The Souls of Black Folk" was written and the message which the author sought to convey. Contends that the general public at this time was not very tolerant of blacks in general and W.E.B. DuBois was not only black, he had an impressive education and was considerably influential. Ironically, these same qualities somewhat alienated W.E.B. DuBois even from some of his own people. Even in this historical context, however, "The Souls of Black Folks" was regarded as a beautiful insight into the African American culture. No additional sources are listed.

A. Phillip Randolph
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that looks at the career of this African American leader. Asa Philip Randolph (1889-1979) was the most significant civil rights leader to emerge from the labor movement (Stein, 1991). His name is not as well-known as that of Martin Luther King, however, Randolph was a principal motivator of his generation and a pioneer in obtaining rights for black Americans. His career as a political activist begins early in the twentieth century, decades before the civil rights movement and examination of his work suggests that his early successes in gaining rights for black Americans laid the necessary groundwork upon which 1960s civil rights movement was built. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
