Again, I will share my knowledge with others. The veil was a symbol of separation between blacks and whites, and the obstacles that blacks faced in gaining self-consciousness in a racist society. It was preventing blacks from seeing themselves as they are. Dubois struggled to prevent Blacks from becoming invisible to the rest of the world, hidden behind a veil of prejudice. Blacks needed to lift their veil to education, political, and activism.
