dubois library. i go to the special collections department and ask the librarian i would like to see these dubois one on one materials. i think it might be a folder, maybe a box, if i'm lucky. i sit down, wait at the table. the librarian returns with six microfilm reels. wow. so now i'm really. what could this possibly. so some of you may remember what a microfilm machine like you had a roll load the film and crank the so i put the first reel in and there is a manuscript by w e.b. dubois on the black in world war one that i knew nothing about the manuscript. i would continue to learn more about 800 pages long. in addition to the actual manuscript, all of dubois's research materials and the correspondence related to this project. he gave his book an incredibly evocative title, the black man and the wounded world. so just imagine i am a young bride, had graduate student stumbling an unfinished and unpublished manuscript by the great w.e.b. dubois. i didn't know what to do with myself. was stunned. shoc

dubois is best friend. and if you know anything about patrick innis movement, dubois is the originator of pan-africanism, one of the originators of pan-africanism, and a part of young's growth evolution as an officer and a leader is that he becomes a strong advocate of, a pan-african identity. and unlike his report on haiti, which he advocated for u.s. military intervention when he goes to liberia, he's very clear. he's like the united needs to support and protect liberia from the possibility of ever being colonized. it needs to maintain its independence. and because of his term and his service in helping to reshape the liberian frontier force. he is going to get the spingarn medal, which is a medal water from the naacp for his reorganization training and diplomacy. liberia. it's because young of work that the policy of washington actually is able to open a school in liberia in monrovia and up until the 19 when when i say the forties and fifties the liberian frontier force was always advised raised by a afr

i'm maurice dubois. over the next half hour, we'll travel across the country to uncover stories that have a major impact. and we'll talk with the storytellers as well, who've dedicated their work to elevating these issues front and center. we begin in colorado where the best available option for some people with mental illness is to be locked up behind bars. for decades, colorado's jails and prisons have had no choice but to house the mentally ill in a system not at all equipped to address their complex needs. cbs news colorado reporter alan gionet, tells us the story of a young woman and her family caught in a cycle of homelessness, arrests, and gaps in the system. - kelsey. - hi, kiana. - [alan] it's a video call. - hi. - [alan] a way family can connect with 23-year-old olivia schack whom they call lou. she's in the jefferson county jail. - oh, there you are. i can see you better now. hi, sweetie. - yeah. - have you brushed your teeth yet? - no. - you haven't, huh? - [alan] still a little girl in some

dubois was at the the tashkent event. f was sutherland is somebody like sembene, like laguna was going back and forth between congress for cultural and afro-asian writers association events. this is a an abbreviated list. some of the major figures in african literature from the fifties, sixties and seventies that went back and forth and had very s levels of involvement and engagement with both united states affiliated cultural apparatus and its soviet counterpart, lotus magazine and the afro-asian writers association. most of these writers published in at least one congress for cultural publication. well, as some of those lotus magazine issues that i talked about a few moments, so as was churning through information, one of the most difficult things for me to do, writing this book was to account for this, but it was also one of the most liberating parts of doing this project, trying to reckon with this archival and i'll call it empirical data that i found as i was my research, my original hypothesis was completely sunk. b

black people as well and part of that you had people like dubois that you mentioned and others who aren't thrilled with her and other members of the black lives movement don't adopt her as part of their understanding. what is her image? >> well there has been some good scholarship on thisat that i am building on recently but i think that we are still in this space where we can't really, we are still amazed that she did what she did and can't really conceive of the extent of her fame during her lifetime and how significant that was. or also how important it was to the abolitionist groups in that time and then for a long time afterwards. that's what jefferson is responding to. there's a chapter of the book about this and i thought it would be more of the book and my original plan was how people continue to respond and her afterlife so i'm studying the beginning. really what you have is black and white abolitionists keeping her memory alive. both black and white and antislavery people use her as an example in the user poems in schools. people know who she is but what you see is a backlash ag

women in part of it, you have people like dubois that you mentioned and others who aren't thrilled with her. other members of the black arts movement don't adopt her as a part of their understanding of black esthetic. what is her? what is her image? what has it been. well, there's there's been some good scholarship on this that i'm that i'm building on recently. but i don't i think that we're still in this space where we can't really be we're still amazed that she did what she did. and can't really conceive of the extent of her fame during her lifetime and how significant that was. and also how important that was to the abolitionist movement in her time. and then and then for a long time afterwards. and that's what jefferson is really responding to. so there's really the last chapter of the book is about this and frankly, i thought it would be more of the book when i my original plan was and it's such a fascinating story, how people have continued to respond to her. i call it her afterlives, but so i'm starting at the beginning and i'm going to get to the message i was asking. so really

so i think that the lock so that they can that, that keep this on for you think the dubois due to act on the glen one can produce even with the next operation of hon. allowed friends to take control of the whole region from send a goal. so so done. most of the curious pattern, the terrorist threats continued to grow, and the area of terrorist activity expanded 12 french business affairs in multi improved and profit grew. click unsafe for show that 49 french soldiers died, not somali, the french trade interest. frances, i mean it took up and independent and extremely advantageous inconvenience position . and molly, the bulky bias. tell many malia and civilians died at the hands of the french. doesn't care about that. to paraphrase the goal. fronts has no friends, only its own interests. the history of relations between friends and its former colonies should serve as an example to of the defense treaty with france. does it deal with the devil? so no, uh uh, the people do is out of town to live with the last on monday. i'm gone, don't see that. i'm going to donald, put another pfizer who

dubois is writing about closing ranks. and this is our fight. and then we're fighting for democracy. and then now world war two starts. what is the mindset of most african americans and political at that particular time? and what's different about this conflict? so one of the reasons the double victory campaign resonates so powerfully is that it's old idea in many ways. as mark was saying, frederick douglass, in the context of what context of the civil war says, going to fight two battles. we're going to fight to change. and north also fighting against the south and slavery. w.e.b. dubois, outset of war, one says we're going to return fighting. right? we're going to close ranks, fight this war abroad. but then we're going to come back and gain equal rights at home. what's different with world war two is the scale that americans have been part of every military conflict united states has ever been involved in going, all the way back to the american revolution in run up to world war two, before america officially joins the war after pearl harbor.

tragedy surrounding charles young as well as as i talk about in the book, which ultimately adds dubois'sllusionment after the war and belief certainly by the mid 1920s and into and beliefs by the mid-1920s into the 1930s that the war was a complete tragedy and failure. >> very few people here since world war i. at the end of my summary year at yale i took a program called find your ba. twelve kids y at yale at the end of your sophomore year would be chosen. what we used to call the third world, i was premed like every kid i knew. i went and the bridge be anglican at the time i got a job working at four hours into the capital and it would be a german fort. there were five european missionaries, and they put me across the yard and then on the outskirts was a cemetery and it was of german soldiers. talk about that, help peopleth understand. he wrote brilliantly about this, the role of africa in world war i when he was deconstructing. can you explain that a little bit? >> sure. do boys wrote what i think is one of the most brilliant articles quite possibly into the 20th century in the atlant

in fact informed by a milton a confucius, a dubois, while also learning to speak fluent lee the language of late capitalism so that when people like me ask questions enrollment. they what's being asked without simply throwing up the retort that demonizes the processes of these questions there are demonized evil aspects to the work. to be sure, but there are also traceable ways in which those modes of thinking create jobs. save jobs, create spaces for students who could not afford those spaces on their own. and i want my colleagues on the side to remember this constantly. that doesn't mean dialing their commitments as humanist, but to apply those those excellences of mind to think rigorously of what it means to be citizens of both kinds of places. that's the city inside of me. the other side of me wants to say that the universal like places like the or the hospital need to both in their origins but also in their contemporary practice. this, this event, for example is sponsored by a model of church, a model of community that very much does this what spaces need to do or maybe i should rest
