SUMMARY:The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois & WWI
DESCRIPTION:Join Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City and the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group for an author discussion of the new book\, The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois & WWI. \nHope\, betrayal\, disillusionment and transformation. W.E.B. Du Bois encouraged African Americans to join the Allied cause in WWI\, but after-the-fact became haunted by this decision. In the effort to atone\, he began a manuscript detailing the history of Black participation in WWI – a manuscript that ultimately remained unfinished. \nProfessor and award-winning author Chad Williams’ new book explores the legacy of Du Bois. As we celebrate Juneteenth\, learn more about the most influential scholar-activist in African American history in this compelling lecture\, hosted in partnership with the Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City and the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group. \nFree with RSVP | Auditorium and Online
