Du Bois describes the American black people life as a "double-consciousness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body"

Darkwater is a groundbreaking classic that speaks for the millions of African-Americans who lived as slaves in America. Written by W. E. B. Du Bois, a pioneer in sociology, Darkwater tells the simultaneous stories of ex-slaves in America and their descendents, from emancipation to the Great Migration to modern times—and explores how race has shaped African Americans' lives.

This is a story, which covers the life of an African-American woman who tries to help a group of friends find jobs. After many years of oppression and racist attacks, they finally decide to create their own company. There are also chapters covering DuBois' education and speaking at National Conferences.
