DuBois and Socratic Questioning	2008	24	.pdf	application/pdf	9161	393	58	DuBois appeals to Socrates and Francis early in Souls, in his first discussion and critique of Booker T. Washington, a critique that takes aim at Washington’s willingness to endure the exclusion of black youth from higher education. In what follows we will examine a series of Socratic themes in the writings of W.E.B. DuBois: the paradoxical status of images, poten- tially enslaving and liberating, and the nature of liberal education; the appeal to nature as a basis for a critique of corrupt customs; and DuBois’s response to the charge of elitism, a charge often leveled against Socrates as well.	cache/expositions-84.pdf	txt/expositions-84.txt
