From the Quicklet on The Souls of Black Folk:
W.E.B. Du Bois
Du Bois, author, educator, philosopher, and civil activist, wrote The Souls of Black Folk. Some of the chapters are written based on his personal experience. Throughout the book, he refers to himself in the first person. The book is very personal to him; it’s more than just a sociological text.
Booker T. Washington
Washington was the first black man to visit the White House as a guest. His Atlanta Compromise, in which he emphasized industrial education over formal education and submission over protest, was widely popular around the time Du Bois published The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois dedicates an entire chapter to criticizing Washington’s role in the plight of black people at that time.
Josie
Josie is one of Du Bois’s students in rural Tennessee. She wants to learn and wants to get ahead in life. Du Bois recognizes the qualities of a great leader within her. But she is held back because she is the primary source of economic and spiritual goods in her household. When Josie dies, Du Bois senses tragedy not just in the fact that she died but because of the potential that went with her.

From the Quicklet on Life Upon These Shores:
Life Upon These Shores begins by discussing the origins of slavery and the scant accounts we have of the first black people to ever arrive in the Americas. Gates then delves into the evolution of the slave trade, it’s causes, structure, and alternative labor systems that were first considered. The lives of the occasional free blacks are compared with those of slaves and examples are given from both categories of people who were able to achieve amazing things despite the racism they faced.
Gates explains the important role that African Americans had during the Revolutionary War, as many of them fought on both sides despite still being enslaved. This conflict became part of a larger fight for liberty after the war as African Americans and white abolitionists throughout the country worked tirelessly for nearly a century to try and gain freedom for black people.
This fight for justice eventually led to the Civil War. Unfortunately, although the conclusion of the war gave freedom to all African Americans and the right to vote to black men, black people still found that their rights were frequently denied and infringed upon. Lynch mobs became common, particularly in the South and few black people could hope to achieve prosperous lives. This led to a long, hard struggle to fight against the evils of racism and the increasingly common segregation policies that were being established around the country.
