W.E.B. Du Bois: Will the Truth Set You Free?Organized by the American Ethical Union
On February 7, 1949, renowned civil rights activist Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois gave a speech (the written version unearthed by our own Carolyn Parker) at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. We will be listening to a reading of this historic address as Dr. Du Bois speaks about the importance of acknowledging the hardships that African Americans have faced as well as their contributions to this country’s success. This historic address is consistent with the resolution passed at the 2017 AEU Assembly titled “Toward Repairing the Harm of Racism.” There, the AEU stated its goal of addressing racial inequality by examining the effects that racial discrimination has had and continue to have on people of color. Dr. Du Bois’ address echoes this sentiment, a timeless reminder that we cannot create a better future without looking into the past. This event will take place virtually on Zoom on Sunday, January 30th, at 11am Eastern Time. We hope to see you there!
