Just read the chapter on Booker T Washington. Didn’t remember/understand this from high school, but — according to Du Bois — Washington called for Black people to give up political rights, civic liberty, and higher education to achieve short-term economic mobility. This chapter slammed Washington for making such a compromise and talked about how freedom and economic mobility go together.

Read the chapter where he taught in Alexandria, Tennessee. He describes these summers as being nostalgic and adds elements of childhood innocence and hope. Later, he returns to the town only to see that the children he taught are dead, moved out, or miserable. It feels like you live in this rural Southern town while reading the chapter, especially with the sprinkling of family life in and around town.
