The black man brings his gifts
Du Bois, W. E. B. (William Edward Burghardt), 1868-1963 · [ca. 1906]
A casually-told first-person-plural narrative about the race relations and social perceptions influencing the founding of a small Indiana town's Women's Club Federation, and subsequent analysis of the multicultural melting-pot origins of most "American" arts and traditions, concluding with the finding that "laborers and drudges and slaves" are the ones "who made this big country." See mums312-b236-i050 for additional fragment.
