Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research celebrated the centennial of the landmark work by the institute’s namesake. The intellectual firepower in the Memorial Church Friday (April 25) was formidable as the W.E.B. Singer and former assistant dean and director of academic affairs at GSD Lawrence Watson performed ‘Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,’ ‘Steal Away Home,’ and other ‘sorrow songs’ from ‘The Souls of Black Folk.’ (Photo by Andrea Fischman)
