The Education of Black People by W.E.B DuBois: #4.Diuturni Silenti/1924

Abstract: Focus of Chpter 4 & Lecture 4.

2013 Common Text author Wole Soyinka argues that as long as the past “is fictionalized or denied, Africa is doomed to the curse of repetition, albeit in disguised, even refined forms.” The sacred space of memory, he suggests, must be preserved. The process of “re-membering”—of reconnecting historical memory to modern social consciousness as a renaissance and flowering of imagination, innovation, and problem solving—will lead to conscious contributions to what 2012 Common Text author Ngugi wa Thiong’o calls “a common humanity of progress and achievement.” Du Bois argues that any attempt to raise the Black race to its full humanity (and, by extension, to raise “the fairest and fullest dream of a great united humanity”) must follow the methods “pointed out by the accumulated wisdom of the world for the development of full human power.” This lecture explores Black peoples’ engagement with cultural traditions to recover memory and to connect ideas and information across generations and among cultural communities.
