I don't think I ever heard his name spoken in high school and probably not in college. In fact, I thought it was pronounced in the French manner until I heard someone talking about him on the radio years later. I read The Souls of Black Folk about 25 years ago and found it moving. I still have to read Black Reconstruction.

So it's /duːˈbɔɪs/ doo-BOYSS!? I had no idea. And I ought to read him. His books are on Project Gutenberg. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/226 And I see that he wrote a novel, too. Could be interesting.
Hi Nick. It surprised me to learn how he pronounced his name. I think you'll enjoy his writing. I have to read Black Reconstruction. People keep recommending it.
