After reading The Souls of Black Folk – Du Bois, I was truly intrigued by how brave Du Bois was. People aren’t like that in this world today. It’s very seldom that you will find a man or women that will take a risk like he did. Du Bois knew what he was doing when he went from just being a hard working scholar to an extremely vocal advocate for equal rights. He knew that even though he was taking a huge risk and could loose everything, that it was the right thing to do. I admire him, because in this society people only care about themselves. If you had a chance to try and make things right in the world, but you could risk loosing everything, would you?
