This project is now complete.  All audio files can be found on our catalog page here:

https://librivox.org/john-brown-by-w-e-b-du-bois/


Volunteers outside the USA: W. E. B. Du Bois died in 1963. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
This is a moving and deeply felt biography of abolitionist John Brown, which defends its subject against the popular notion of him as a delusional fanatic. The author, W.E.B. DuBois, was a renowned author, scholar, sociologist, socialist, and civil rights activist, and one of the founders of the N.A.A.C.P.. (Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Okay, off we go! Section 1 is up.
Quick note - I am putting this into sections rather than chapters The length of the chapters varies wildly. The first two are very short and after that they get quite a bit longer - some too long to comfortably record in one section (and I really did time it out this time). So the 13 chapters will be done in 20 sections. I think...
