Quote for Today - Twenty-First Day in Black History Month

"It is a peculiar sensation,  this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others ....  One ever feels his twoness - an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warrings ideas in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." 

William Edward Burghardt DuBois [1868-1963], The Souls of Black Folks (1903)
