W.E.B. Du Bois’ “From The Souls of Black Folk” is important to read because the reader is able to see the growth of America in its educational and civic barriers it once possessed. In the article “From The Souls of Black Folk” Du Bois praises the work of Booker T. Washington, although the two have some different thoughts they were very passionate about helping the people who were once slaves adjust to their new freedom. The most important thing that Du Bois talks about in his article is education. To show his enthusiasm he talks about Washington’s experience seeing a young boy trying to better himself, “And so thoroughly did he learn the speech and thought of triumphant commercialism, and the ideals of material prosperity, that the picture

Marywood University incorporates a mission statement where they base a campus state of well-being off a list of core values including, empowerment, service, excellence, catholic identity and respect. We are working towards a goal in a community at Marywood that presents these core values as a set of words to live by on campus, but in our hearts we have to connect meaning to them.
