SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. Du Bois (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:4-Aug\nThe Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois \n“Of the Training of Black Men”\n“Of the Black Belt”\n“Of the Quest of the Golden Fleece”\n“Of the Sons of Master and Man”\n“Of the Faith of the Fathers” \nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/408 \n80 pages \nExcerpt: \nFrom the shimmering swirl of waters where many\, many thoughts ago the slave-ship first saw the square tower of Jamestown\, have flowed down to our day three streams of thinking: one swollen from the larger world here and overseas\, saying\, the multiplying of human wants in culture-lands calls for the world-wide cooperation of men in satisfying them. Hence arises a new human unity\, pulling the ends of earth nearer\, and all men\, black\, yellow\, and white. The larger humanity strives to feel in this contact of living Nations and sleeping hordes a thrill of new life in the world\, crying\, “If the contact of Life and Sleep be Death\, shame on such Life.” To be sure\, behind this thought lurks the afterthought of force and dominion\,—the making of brown men to delve when the temptation of beads and red calico cloys. \nThe second thought streaming from the death-ship and the curving river is the thought of the older South\,—the sincere and passionate belief that somewhere between men and cattle\, God created a tertium quid\, and called it a Negro\,—a clownish\, simple creature\, at times even lovable within its limitations\, but straitly foreordained to walk within the Veil. To be sure\, behind the thought lurks the afterthought\,—some of them with favoring chance might become men\, but in sheer self-defence we dare not let them\, and we build about them walls so high\, and hang between them and the light a veil so thick\, that they shall not even think of breaking through.

SUMMARY:Thursday Seminar: "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. Du Bois (Part I)
DESCRIPTION:31-Jul\nThe Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois \n“Of Our Spiritual Strivings”\n“Of the Dawn of Freedom”\n“Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others”\n“Of the Meaning of Progress”\n“Of the Wings of Atalanta” \nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/408 \n80 pages \n  \nExcerpt: \nSouth of the North\, yet north of the South\, lies the City of a Hundred Hills\, peering out from the shadows of the past into the promise of the future. I have seen her in the morning\, when the first flush of day had half-roused her; she lay gray and still on the crimson soil of Georgia; then the blue smoke began to curl from her chimneys\, the tinkle of bell and scream of whistle broke the silence\, the rattle and roar of busy life slowly gathered and swelled\, until the seething whirl of the city seemed a strange thing in a sleepy land.

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "Benito Cereno" by Herman Melville
DESCRIPTION:21-Jul\nBenito Cereno\nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/files/15859/15859-h/15859-h.htm#chap03\nHerman Melville\n80 pages \n  \nExcerpt: \nIn the year 1799\, Captain Amasa Delano\, of Duxbury\, in Massachusetts\, commanding a large sealer and general trader\, lay at anchor with a valuable cargo\, in the harbor of St. Maria—a small\, desert\, uninhabited island toward the southern extremity of the long coast of Chili. There he had touched for water. \nOn the second day\, not long after dawn\, while lying in his berth\, his mate came below\, informing him that a strange sail was coming into the bay. Ships were then not so plenty in those waters as now. He rose\, dressed\, and went on deck. \nThe morning was one peculiar to that coast. Everything was mute and calm; everything gray. The sea\, though undulated into long roods of swells\, seemed fixed\, and was sleeked at the surface like waved lead that has cooled and set in the smelter’s mould. The sky seemed a gray surtout. Flights of troubled gray fowl\, kith and kin with flights of troubled gray vapors among which they were mixed\, skimmed low and fitfully over the waters\, as swallows over meadows before storms. Shadows present\, foreshadowing deeper shadows to come.

SUMMARY:Thursday Seminar: “The Birds\,” by Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION:The Birds\, Aristophanes\, 64 Pages \nExcerpt: \nWhat misfortune is ours! we strain every nerve to get to the birds\, do everything we can to that end\, and we cannot find our way! Yes\, spectators\, our madness is quite different from that of Sacas. He is not a citizen\, and would fain be one at any cost; we\, on the contrary\, born of an honourable tribe and family and living in the midst of our fellow-citizens\, we have fled from our country as hard as ever we could go. ‘Tis not that we hate it; we recognize it to be great and rich\, likewise that everyone has the right to ruin himself; but the crickets only chirrup among the fig-trees for a month or two\, whereas the Athenians spend their whole lives in chanting forth judgments from their law-courts. \nThat is why we started off with a basket\, a stew-pot and some myrtle boughs(3) and have come to seek a quiet country in which to settle. We are going to Tereus\, the Epops\, to learn from him\, whether\, in his aerial flights\, he has noticed some town of this kind.

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:“Good Country People\,” by Flannery O’Connor\, 15 pages \nBESIDES THE NEUTRAL EXPRESSION that she wore when she was alone\, Mrs. Freeman had two others\, forward and reverse\, that she used for all her human dealings. Her forward expression was steady and driving like the advance of a heavy truck. Her eyes never swerved to left or right but turned as the story turned as if they followed a yellow line down the center of it. She seldom used the other expression because it was not often necessary for her to retract a statement\, but when she did\, her face came to a complete stop\, there was an almost imperceptible movement of her black eyes\, during which they seemed to be receding\, and then the observer would see that Mrs. Freeman\, though she might stand there as real as several grain sacks thrown on top of each other\, was no longer there in spirit. As for getting anything across to her when this was the case\, Mrs. Hopewell had given it up. She might talk her head off. Mrs. Freeman could never be brought to admit herself wrong on any point. She would stand there and if she could be brought to say anything\, it was something like\, “Well\, I wouldn’t of said it was and I wouldn’t of said it wasn’t\,” or letting her gaze range over the top kitchen shelf where there was an assortment of dusty bottles\, she might remark\, “I see you ain’t ate many of them figs you put up last summer.” \n
