The preeminent Black intellectual of his generation, Du Bois wrote about the trauma of seeing the Reconstruction era's promise of racial equality cruelly dashed by the rise of white supremacist terror and Jim Crow laws. Yet he also argued for the value of African American cultural traditions and provided inspiration for countless civil rights leaders who followed him. Now artist Paul Peart-Smith offers the first graphic adaptation of Du Bois's seminal work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeart-Smith's graphic adaptation provides historical and cultural contexts that bring to life the world behind Du Bois's words.
