Join us for a compelling lecture with Seattle University Professor, Dr. Saheed Adejumobi, Ph.D! Together, we’ll examine W.E.B. Du Bois’ revolutionary work, The Souls of Black Folks and its relevance in contemporary America. More than just a collection of essays, this text stands as one of the most important works of American literature, shaping discussions on race, identity, and freedom for over a century.
Du Bois described the concept of double consciousness, an internal conflict of African Americans as they navigate their “American” identity in a society that marginalizes Black experiences. Professor Adejumobi will explore this and other social and intellectual concepts during this timely conversation. Connect historical perspectives with present-day realities in the ongoing pursuit of justice and self-determination in this iteration of In the Classroom.
