About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Crisis: A Record of the Darker Races, Vol. I, No. 6 by W. E. B. Du Bois. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The Crisis is the official publication of the NAACP first published in 1910 with W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the founders, as editor. He exercised almost total control of the content and opinions of the publication until he resigned in 1934. Du Bois was one of the most ardent advocates for total civil rights for all racial minorities and was a prolific author for the cause. From Du Bois’ editorial: “The object of this publication is to set forth those facts and arguments which show the danger of race prejudice, particularly as manifested to-day toward colored people. It takes its name from the fact that the editors believe that this is a critical time in the history of the advancement of men.” This issue features articles, "Leaving It to the South by Charles Edward Russell," "Color Hysteria" by Oswald Garrison Villard, and a special poem, "Resurrection" by William Stanly Braithwaite. - Summary by Larry Wilson
