Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil by W. E. B. Du Bois
"Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil" by W. E. B. Du Bois is a literary work published in 1920. This hybrid collection combines autobiography, essays, spirituals, and poems to explore the complexities of the color line and its political implications. Du Bois examines themes of labor unity, racial conflict, and economic justice while maintaining a spiritual tone throughout. The work opens with his famous "Credo," a prophetic statement of faith in universal
brotherhood and freedom that was widely read and recited across America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
