For an author‚ writing a story may come easiest when there is passion behind the words. For W.E.B Du Bois‚ his stories were his reality. Born in Great Barrington Massachusetts‚ Du Bois grew up with European Americans in a mostly white school. He was profoundly supported by his family‚ friends‚ and teachers. It was not until Du Bois moved to Nashville‚ Tennessee to attend a university‚ that he truly experienced racial discrimination. W.E.B Du Bois’s life experiences of racial segregation‚ social inequality

On Friday‚ February 16‚ 2018‚ I attended Nahum Dimitri Chandler’s lecture‚ in which he examined W.E.B. Du Bois’s idea of double consciousness.

To Yeats‚ his ideas of the Irish politics of his time were never far from his modernist poems. He makes the political world seem a place of passion and contradictions‚ like art‚ requiring of us not to understand history in moral terms‚ such as “good and bad” but‚ rather‚ in seemingly emotionally artistic terms‚ like “pity” or “terror.” For example‚ in the poem‚ “Easter 1916‚” Yeats fixes on the horror and captivation of the considerably devastating event of the Irish uprising.

In the early 1900’s both Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Du Bois presented a plan for racial justice. While the two plans fought for the same people‚ their approach‚ ideologies‚ and goals differed. Both men were brave to speak out‚ but overall Du Bois created a plan that was radical and one that represented the African American community well. Du Bois most compelling tool used in his plan for racial justice lies in his word choices. The way he uses metaphors like “the veil” and “double consciousness”

W.E.B. Du Bois’s philosophy on criticism implies that the education system is inadequate for much of the country.
