W.E.B. (WILLIAM EDWARD BURGHARDT) DU BOIS
American writer and social reformer (1868 - 1963)

Herein lie buried many things which if read with patience may
show the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of
the Twentieth Century. This meaning is not without interest to
you, Gentle Reader; for the problem of the Twentieth Century is
the problem of the color-line.
- The Souls of Black Folk
[Books (First Lines)]
The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the
color-line,--the relation of the darker to the lighter races of
men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.
- The Souls of Black Folk (ch. 2) [Racism]
