Du Bois begins each of his chapter with staves of music from the "Sorrow Songs" (or black spirituals), "some echo of haunting melody from the only American music which welled up from black souls in the dark past". Why do you think Du Bois intercuts The Souls of Black Folk with these songs? What claims is he making about the applicability of the "Sorrow Songs" to the early twentieth-century black experience?
