Prince came to Oakland on Monday and put on an display of his prodigious musical talents and his sense of showmanship.

It was impressive.

Ultimately, though, I wasn't moved or emotionally involved in the proceedings, just impressed.

It struck me as appropriate that I was seeing the show the day after the NBA Allstar extravaganza, in that the NBA and Prince seemed to me to have the same basic goal: display jaw-dropping talent wrapped in undeniably entertaining packaging that obscures the lack of real drama or emotion.

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an American civil rights activist, leader, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95.

David Levering Lewis, a biographer, wrote, "In the course of his long, turbulent career, W.E.B. Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism—scholarship, propaganda, integration, cultural and economic separatism, politics, international communism, expatriation, third world solidarity."

Read The Negro by W. E. B. Du Bois, one of six of his works available free from Project Gutenberg.
