@34:00 alright....web dubois is one of my heroes and I have, so far, loved listening to this lecture.
But. The Chicago School and Jane Addams did AMAZING work. Look it up. So...DuBois was first. Sure. He was. But... bravo to The Chicago School!

Also... study DuBois!! He'll change you're ability to feel good about humanity...or at least... your effort to be positive.
But also study his struggles. Powerful. His relationship with Marcus Garvey.... which informed his criteria critiques of himself.
Study is good!
