Undoubtedly the most influential black intellectual of the twentieth century and one of Americas finest historians, W.E.B. DuBois knew that the liberation of the African American people required liberal education and not vocational training. He saw education as a process of teaching certain timeless values: moderation, an avoidance of luxury, a concern for courtesy, a capacity to endure, a nurturing love for beauty. At the same time, DuBois saw education as fundamentally subversive. This was as much a function of the wellestablished role of educationfrom Plato forwardas the realities of the social order under which he lived. He insistently calls for great energy and initiative; for African Americans controlling their own lives and for continued experimentation and innovation, while keeping educations fundamentally radical nature in view.Though containing speeches written nearly onehundred years ago, and on a subject that has seen more stormy debate and demagoguery than almost any other in recent history, The Education of Black People approaches education with a timelessness and timeliness, at once rooted in classical thought that reflects a remarkably fresh and contemporary relevance.

I found the critiques compelling, but the layout of the book wasn't the best. Some chapters felt disjointed. It's still worth reading for anyone looking to understand historical perspectives on education, though.

Essential historical context but tough read
While the critiques are crucial for understanding the educational struggles faced by Black individuals during that period, the academic tone can be a bit dense at times. It's definitely a challenge, but I think it's an important book for educators.
