The Education of Black People
EPUB EBook by W.E.B. Du Bois
EBook DescriptionUndoubtedly the most influential black intellectual of the twentieth century and one of America's finest historians, W. The Education of Black People EPUB EBookE.B. DuBois knew that the liberation of the African American people required liberal education and not vocational training.

This was as much a function of the well- EPUBestablished role of educationfrom Plato forwardas the realities of the social order under which he lived. He insistently calls for great energy and initiative; download; for African Americans controlling their own lives and for continued experimentation and innovation, while keeping education's fundamentally radical nature in view.
