Voices from within the Veil

By: W. E. B. Du Bois

Narrated by: Bernard K. Addison, Dion Graham, Lisa Reneé Pitts, Bahni Turpin, Mirron Willis

The distinguished American civil rights leader, W. E. B. DuBois first published these fiery essays, sketches, and poems individually in 1920 in the Atlantic, the Journal of Race Development, and other periodicals. Reflecting the author's ideas as a politician, historian, and artist, this volume has long moved and inspired readers with its militant cry for social, political, and economic reform. It is essential reading for all students of African American history.

Du Bois!

His arguments are always well-thought-out well-thought-out and insightful. It's amazing how his experience then in still informs us today.

Brilliant!

He was writing 100 years ago, but the brilliance of Du Bois is absolutely relevant today. Breathtaking work!

Very insightful, enjoyable read will recommend to

audible listeners friends and family and acquaintances wonderful insight into the turn of the century America

Wonderful

DuBois essays are still startling relevant today. I really liked that each essay was read by a different person---it made it much easier to recognize the shifts in topic/essay. The only improvement I'd want is to have each essay dated so it's a little easier to discern what historical events sparked each essay.

didn't like the ending

interesting that it ended with a story of a black man saving, serving and protecting her. 😒😒
