E. B. Du Bois is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significant yet often overlooked contributions of Black Americans to the development and fabric of American society, making a case for their essential role in shaping the nation. It examines various aspects such as labor, cultural influence, and social contributions throughout American history. At the start of the work, the author presents a powerful foreword that sets the tone for a reevaluation of American history. Du Bois argues against the common narrative that attributes the creation of America solely to European influence, emphasizing the integral role of the Black population. He highlights various ways Black individuals have shaped America since its inception, from exploration and labor to cultural contributions, urging readers to recognize and appreciate the rich legacy of Black Americans in the nation's history.
