Blak Starr

The Negro is...born with a veil...in this american world....It is a peculiar sensation, this double-conciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others....One ever feels his two-ness - an american, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings.... The history of the american Negro is the history of this strife - this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self....He would not Africanize america, for america has too much to teach the world and Africa. He would not bleach his Negro soul in a flood of white americanism, for he knows that Negro blood has a message for the world. He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an american, without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without having the doors of opportunity closed roughly in his face.---------The Souls of Black Folk - W.E.B.
