Description

From W.E.B. Dubois' 1903 work The Souls of Black Folk, this excerpt poignantly recounts the short life and tragic death of his first-born son. It reflects on the wonder of creation, the bond between mother and child, the awakening love of a parent, and the harsh reality of a father of color finding a form of freedom in loss. Well sped, my boy, before the world had dubbed your ambition insolence... Better far this nameless void that stops my life than a sea of sorrow for you. This piece is part of Applewood's American Roots series, capturing the passions of America's renowned writers and thinkers.
