ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers explores the intertwined histories of one family and the larger story of Black America. Ailey Pearl Garfield, a descendant of people enslaved on Wood Place, researches her family's past and its connections to the Pinchard family, uncovering a complex history of trauma, resistance, and survival. The novel delves into the brutality of slavery, the resilience of those who endured it, and the enduring impact of this history on subsequent generations. It also explores the various ways in which individuals and communities resist oppression and strive to create spaces of their own, while confronting the lingering effects of the past in the present.
