“Double consciousness” is a term that Du Bois himself coined to describe African-Americans in the United States‚ living with two conflicting identities. While he believed that it was a negative aspect of life as an African-American‚ he also acknowledges the benefits of it. This feeds into another concept Du Bois developed called “the veil”.

Both men had the same goals--eradicating racism‚ segregation‚ and discrimination against their race. However‚ the means to achieve such ends were vastly different‚ thus the paradox of these Promethean figures have been revisited 100 years later as Black people seek to grapple with their ideas even in the midst of a 40-year‚ largely self-inflicted
