Certainly The Philadelphia Negro emphasizes a point that many urban residents contend with daily, both then and now. That is, that most all American cities have a racial geography informed by a racial past. What is made clear for Du Bois in The Philadelphia Negro is that an examination of urban racial communities is key to understanding urban America as such communities are sociologically and historically rich reflections of why and how cities and their neighborhoods persist and change.
West: "I think that Du Bois had a self-styled spirituality that was not wedded to cognitive commitments to God talk...Du Bois is part of .jpg)
that particular coterie of secular figures who are profoundly religiously musical, ...people (who) are wrestling with what it means to be human, how do you engage in a virtuous life, what kind of character do you cultivate, what kind of sensitivity, what kind of compassion, what conceptions of justice, the centrality of love and empathy...he was able to sustain himself spiritually without the help of the religious apparatus of tradition."
