The Nation has not yet found peace from its sins; the freedman has not yet found in freedom his promised land. Whatever of good may have come in these years of change, the shadow of a deep disappointment rests upon the Negro people,—a disappointment all the more bitter because the unattained ideal was unbounded save by the simple ignorance of a lowly people. ✨ W. E. B. Du Bois (2014). The Souls of Black Folk: The Oxford W. E. B. Du Bois, p.30, Oxford University Press
