Philadelphia’s Saturday Free School kicked off a year of activities celebrating WEB Dubois’ life and work with a symposium at the Church of the Advocate. “Dubois developed some of the deepest theories when it comes to understanding the human condition,” said public school teacher and Free School activist Ismael Jimenez. “He’s measuring your soul against the tape of a world that looks on with amused contempt and pity.” Black Agenda Report executive editor Glen Ford told the crowd: “Dubois believed that Black labor was the central force of the Black movement, and was also the most revolutionary component of labor in the United States.”
