Description
In this lesson, students are introduced to chapter 1 of W.E.B. Du Bois’s seminal compilation of essays, The Souls of Black Folk. Students begin their exploration of the chapter entitled “Of Our Spiritual Strivings” by considering the effect created by the author’s choice of epigraph. Through discussion, students begin to develop an understanding of the meaning of the key word problem as Du Bois uses it in the text (par. 1).
