Episode description
W.E.B. Du Bois’s “The Conservation of Races,” published in 1897, explores the concept of race and its significance in human history, particularly for African Americans. Du Bois argues that races are distinct groups with shared histories, traditions, and ideals, and that each race has a unique contribution to make to civilization. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining race identity and striving for race unity to achieve progress and equality. He stresses that this did not preclude working towards shared goals with other races, but was instead a means to foster racial cooperation through recognition of unique characteristics. The text also details the mission of the American Negro Academy, which aims to uplift the Black race through education, scholarly discourse, and the promotion of race pride and unity.
