This book by W.E.B. Du Bois came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Ronald Sullivan. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Du Bois' 1903 collection of essays is a thoughtful, articulate exploration of the moral and intellectual issues surrounding the perception of blacks within American society.
“souls of black folk by w.b du bois uh was absolutely pivotal pivotal in my intellectual development”— Ronald Sullivan
The guest here is Ronald Sullivan: Harvard Law School professor and renowned defense attorney known for taking impossible, unpopular cases. He led parts of the defenses for Aaron Hernandez and Harvey Weinstein, and Harvard declined to renew his faculty dean post after student protests. Harvard Law's Ronald Sullivan defends everyone's right to counsel, even Harvey Weinstein, and warns that universities are caving to the loudest voices.
