β¦ Synopsis
These finely honed non-denominational homilies are written in Du Bois' finest lyrical prose. The values espoused in these prescriptions for daily living are universal in their appeal across race, nationality and creed and stand as ethical guides to the well-lived life. As we hear the prayers, we come to realize that these moral admonitions just as easily could have been titled "prayers for all people." An introduction provides interesting insight into Du Bois' tenure as a teacher at Wilberforce then at Atlanta University and how the prayers came to be.
