Please read the forethought and chapter one of The Souls of Black Folks, a foundational text in African American studies. I have provided a link to the entire book but we will only be reading till chapter one. I have also provided a youtube audio reading of the text and a short video explaining Du Bois concept of “Double Consciousness” that you should use as a companion. Submit a 200 word summary of the most important ideas in chapter 1 of this book and make sure you explain the term “double consciousness” and “the veil” within your summary.
