The Souls of Black Folk was published in 1903 as a collection of essays from W.E.B. Du Bois, an African-American sociologist who wrote frequently about his experiences as a Black man for magazines and other publications.

Diane Bray's words are simple, rhyming, and straight to the point.

As each day another social or humanitarian issue needed to be addressed, another verse came to life.
