"DuBois has done well for his own future standing in the light of history and for the correct interpretation of his people and their problem by writing this noteworthy "book.""
"--Saturday Review"
 
"DuBois describes in a mood of mounting intensity, sternly held in check, his own changing attitudes towards the restricting bars set up against the world of color. The story of DuBois' life, devoted to a program of action against these restrictions, presents an unforgettable picture of the changing life of our "time.""
