Dialogue’s Poetic Heart:
Daisaku Ikeda’s Ethos of Encouragement

Sarah Ann Wider taught an Emersonian miscellany of courses at Colgate University for nearly 40 years. Emerita Professor of English and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, she continues her always ongoing study of the Transcendentalists in all their challenging and vexing complexities. 
 

This is a lecture on W. E. B. Du Bois's thought of "double-consciousness" as first given in his June 1897 essay "Strivings of the Negro People" and later presented as the opening chapter of his classic text, The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches published in April 1903: "the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world."
