Du Bois' concept of "the triple paradox" is based on some essential aspects.

One of these aspects on

which all his work will revolve is the human and civil rights of the black folk of America, which according
to what the author proposes, has the same right to vote as other people and also has rights such as
education, justice, health; in From the Souls of Black Folk Du Bois says “After the Egyptian and Indian,
the Greek and Roman , the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil,
and gifted with second- sight in this American world,—a world which yields him no true self
-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world” (1705), here he
talks about "the veil" but in a metaphorical sense referring to the differences in the treatment of black
folk, in the situation of slavery and their impossibility of being able to follow an education, this
developed in a kind of veil, which it influenced his world view, but there are times when "the veil" is
seen as a blessing or it can also be seen as a curse. Regarding the work of W.E.B. Du Bois is interesting
that he has chosen verses from poems belonging to European culture and fragments of songs where
suffering is recounted, a specific struggle of the African American people “ O water, voice of my heart,
crying in the sand, All night long crying with a mournful cry, As I lie and listen, and cannot understand
The voice of my heart in my side or the voice of the sea,[...]” (1704). The author focuses on the historical
and sociological events experienced by the black folk whose purpose was to facilitate the transition from
slavery to freedom “The first decade was merely a prolongation of the vain search for freedom, the
boon that seemed ever barely to elude their grasp,- like a tantalizing will-o’-the-wisp, maddening and
misleading the headless host” (1707). One of the points to which I give importance and which appears
mentioned in the work of Du Bois is the fight for the right of the black folk to an education just as
qualitative as that of the whites. In my opinion, black folk should follow the same education as whites
and not only dedicate themselves to industrial education. Remarkable is also the role that the black
Church has had in the process of inclusion of black people in American society. An interesting movie that
has marked me is To Kill a Mockingbird based on the novel by Harper Lee. In this movie, a lawyer
defends a black man falsely accused of having raped a white woman. Here we can see the racism that is
also present today, although not as pronounced. What this film offers is a vision of how little black folk
were taken seriously and the priority that blacks had in relation to the whites.
