There’s a place deep in the mountains covered in Pine, Where all who come are looking for what’s mine. Where these good boys and girls utter all kinds of sounds, Ones I can hear deep below the ground. Where friends, strangers, child, and brother Search for an escape like none other. Where an experience or adventure is something to treasure, Wrapped up safe and cloaked with much pleasure.

In this groundbreaking book, Aldon D. Morris’ ambition is truly monumental: to help rewrite the history of sociology and to acknowledge the primacy of W. E. B. Du Bois’ work in the founding of the discipline. Calling into question the prevailing narrative of how sociology developed, Morris, a major scholar of social movements, probes the way in which the history of the discipline has traditionally given credit to Robert E.
