The Education of Black People by W.E.B DuBois: #5. Edu. and Work/1931
Abstract: Focus of Lecture #5
The eloquence of the spoken word and the devotion to writing—the art of language by line—are highly valued in African American culture. You are heirs of a long tradition of peoples who equate reading and writing with the expression of self-identity, self-possession, self-empowerment, and self-esteem. Indeed, once the commitment to academic excellence is successfully cultivated, it becomes clear that there is nothing as intellectually liberating as self-expression. One of the goals of this course then is to encourage you as an entering freshman to pursue a lifetime of independent discovery and to transmit to you a liberating tradition in reading and writing skills. You may then use these skills in your and the world’s best interest.
--Dr. Dana Williams
