Feed them with wisdom and understanding

Let them be One
Gather the twelve tribes scattered among the nations
Rise up! Ya-Shar-Ahla!

The Autobiography of Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois published in 1968, is a prophetic insight into our current future as told though the life story of one of the greatest sons of America. He championed the ideals of nobility, courage, devotion to duty, and a relentless pursuit of justice for his oppressed brethren, Black Americans. He enlarged this quality of true character by adopting a global vision for enrichment of human life without war, poverty, and ignorance; flourishing in the absence of imperialisms, colonialism, slavery, global monopolies, and oligarchical rule of the rich with their worldwide corporate investments that benefit only a few at the expense of the many.
Free thought, free speech, and freedom from fear and intimidation from government and those in high places Du Bois demand as a human right and obtained it before the world in his opposition towards narrow minded people. No corporation, government, or strong-man, could stop his force for what is right and just. For this he was feared by the oppressors and before him evil had no place to hide.
Du Bois model for us the power of living one's calling and convictions. He set out early in his life of the mind to define the problems facing his people in order to elevate their culture, bring forth their dormant potential, and help them achieve a higher standard of living. He did this using honesty while confronting hatred and ignorance from those who claimed to have the highest level of civilization. He applied the current day's wisdom and knowledge; then he excelled it by asking critical questions about problems and developing effective solutions to the problem, which helped establish the science of sociology, challenged the current dialogue of history, and advanced pollical science. He did this all in real time, putting forth practical methods and providing sound advice for his times and for today.
One of his most practical and critical advice was directed to the coming generations to seek not after riches and status for the purpose of accumulating more and more possessions while the masses of people slip deeper and deeper into poverty. But instead he advised them to seek to learn, grow, and labor to find satisfaction in your work. And that work should be a work that is meaningful and needed by the world. This, he define as what it means to truly live- to find joy in the fact that your work has made a difference towards the betterment of the whole viruses only for the few and the individual.
Dr. Du Bois exemplifies that a heart and mind dedicated to the greater good, to justice to all, and in the defense of truth will always triumph over economic oppression, military aggression, imposes ignorance, religious hypocrisy and intolerance, the lust for gain, and the arrogance of pride. Du Bois life story echo true heroism in the face of giants who dare to challenge the God of Israel.
"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:...Hebrews 11:32"
