I now think we need a historical parody of the song we dem boys. Called I'm Du Bois.

2021-09-12 01:19:10 +0000 UTCListening now and enjoying the show as always but I thought I’d pass on this note from the late great Mr. Du Bois… - Responding to a speaking invitation by the Chicago Sunday Evening Club in 1939, Du Bois made it clear that: “My name is pronounced in the clear English fashion: Du, with u as in Sue; Bois, as in oi in voice.” I said it in the French way once, in 1991, on a sidewalk in front of a bookstore named after him and a passing stranger stopped to correct me. That and my SS# are possibly the only things I remember having learned my first year in college.
