"This beautifully prepared volume contains seventy-one short prayers Du Bois wrote between 1909 and the spring of 1910 for the pupils of the primary and secondary schools and the University students at Atlanta University. Herbert Aptheker prepared them for publication from the original scraps of paper and has written a thoughtful, illuminating, and deeply felt introduction". -- Sage Race Relations Abstracts

Great Work from a Great Fisk Alumnus

This book was nothing like I expected. It is a collection of prayers DuBois had been writing his entire life. The astonishing fact about the collection is that he kept these works a secret until his final days in the United States. This is a mind motivating book and highly underrated. It can move the "souls of black folks." This thoughts have nothing to do with the fact he and I both graduated from Fisk University.
