Episode Synopsis

Dubois’ great assemblage aims to touch hearts and not just minds. The issue of the 20th century is the ‘colour line’. The meaning of ‘soul’, ‘veil’ and ‘double consciousness’. Dubois’ later history takes him from integration to separation. Reflections on the history of the abolition movement and Panafricanism.
