Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, Fern, especially for that first quote. I'm a retired teacher and am finding it very painful to see what my former colleagues (and their students) are experiencing now. Also, I have read ABOUT W.E.B. Du Bois but have never read any of his actual works. Now I know where to start (I copied and pasted this into my notes app). Education is a lifelong endeavor.
Judith, I had an emotional response to your generosity. My readings of W.E.B. Du Bois began when I was ready, past fifty. It is natural for me to think of him, particularly, now. Thank you.

Just yesterday I received a Summer Reads newsletter from Foreign Affairs with an article by W.E.B. Du Bois. It's from 1935, about Ethiopia/Abyssinia in the context of the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935. It's one of the limited number of articles available to non-subscribers. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ethiopia/1935-10-01/inter-racial-implications-ethiopian-crisis
At the end of this article are links to two other articles, one of them also by Du Bois.
Thank you!

Dear Pat, Now, more than ever, I remember the teachers who are part of my understanding, knowledge and care. Thank you.
