What are some metaphors in Chapters 10 and 11 in the book The Souls of Black Folk?

As Du Bois discusses black churches throughout Chapter 10, he calls forth a few metaphors:

First, the idea that an individual church's priests and committees are a government expresses the role of the church in black society as providing structure, order, and social life.

As Du Bois discusses black churches throughout Chapter 10, he calls forth a few metaphors:

First, the idea that an individual church's priests and committees are a government expresses the role of the church in black society as providing structure, order, and social life.

Second, explaining how the history of slavery and the church intermingle, Du Bois mentions that slavery itself was "the dark triumph of Evil" over the slaves. In a parallel metaphor, he mentions later in the chapter that emancipation was the "Coming of the Lord." These religious metaphors help express the otherwise ineffable horror and relief brought on by slavery and its end, respectively. This chapter ends by anticipating an "Awakening" that must come at some point, which we can understand as another metaphor, perhaps the time when the "veil of color" will completely dissipate.

Regarding that "veil," it's actually the central metaphor in Chapter 11. Du Bois describes how his precious baby boy died of an illness, and how that baby will never to have to live under "the veil" that society would have imposed on him if he had lived beyond infancy. This "veil" is a metaphor for blacks' separation from white society and for the inequality, separation, obscurity, etc. that result, and this is the metaphor that Du Bois employs for most of the entire book.
