You have to read this!

What makes Du Bois so interesting is not only his intellect but that there were many intelligent people around him that challenged his mind. Booker T. and Garvey are the obvious ones but E. Franklin Frazier, A. Philip Randolph, Alexander Crummel and a host of others did as well. Manning does an exceptional job detailing one of the greats of the 20th Century. Black people should search this book to see not only what liberation requires but also as a tool to be used in order to filter through the many quasi leaders parading around today. "Any education that black people receive must be centered around solving their political, social and economic problems. It must start in Africa and come right up to the present day Negro." I'm para-phrasing but has anyone heard anything near this insightful from the characters of the last 25 years?
