This video shows one full class recording from Dr. West’s course examining the philosophical history of W.E.B. DuBois, the towering Black scholar and great freedom fighter of the 20th Century. The course engages in close readings of Du Bois’ classic work, “The Souls of Black Folk” (1903) as well as subsequent essays in his magisterial corpus, especially his classic autobiography, “Dusk of Dawn” (1940).
