The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois

#TIRED and FED the FCUK UP! The effects of someone else’s privilege lay burden to the hands of the so called Poor! We are the many, we are the voices unheard yet you see us in passing each day. We lay down our lives in order for you to live the simple minded one that you’re living. That time is expiring and those old ways are being ripped at the seams. We are TIRED but we ain’t never been weak, without imagination, impeccable skill, unprecedented compassion for others and the eyes to see how this world has categorized us, marginalized and pushed us against the walls of uncertainty. Just because we are TIRED does not mean we won’t FIGHT BACK!!! #fedup #thesoulsofblackfolk #blackspirit #blackisbeautiful #moorsinamerica #thestruggletolive #blackmenarebeautiful #us #blacklikeus #thespirit #losangeles I never cookie cut anything. Every single moment happen end today while on my journey reminding me that my issues are small compared to others. These are the things that humble me and why you never see me complain about anything!!! 💪🏾💥😶 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAzfHagF2uk/?igshid=12fq2xi4x2g6y

Reposted from @aurnonline Happy birthday W.E.B. Dubois! On this day in 1868, William Edward Burghardt Dubois was born in Great Barrigton, MA. Dubois l. The Fisk and Harvard University graduate became an author, activist and Professor of Sociology who challenged scientific racism. His work and legacy includes curating the "Exhibit of American Negores" for the 1900 Paris Exposition which showcased some perspectives on Black American progress of the time - directly opposing rampant colonial imagery. (The exhibit was generally ignored by press except for the newspaper weekly "The Colored American"). His most famous writing, the book, The Souls of Black Folk, can be juxtaposed the hand-drawn infographics he created to illustrate the development of African Americans after emancipation (see the book by Whitney Battle-Baptiste). Both illustrate his life-long commitment to the advancement of Black people worldwide as well as Dubois founding the NAACP and becoming a member of the Pan African Congress. W.E.B. Dubois passed away the night before the March on Washington in 1963 in Accra, Ghana at the age of 95. #aurn #aurnonline #webdubois #thesoulsofblackfolk #blackhistorymonth #bhm #bhm19 - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B84Hsb-BvkXcmeP2q-0D_IoBB_fRpHJMb5Wj8Y0/?igshid=5ndkuqb4pi0v

I remember reading this and having to google most of the people he talked about. This book even inspired me to go visit the same church Alexander Crummell preached at in Washington DC. It’s a prolific read that needs to be taught in educational institutions. #TheSoulsOfBlackFolk (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HMk0nlQfx/?igshid=1m0b4rtel5irj
