header by Alex(a) Cruz Abarca The True American Revolution: That of the American Slave Closing his magisterial work Black Reconstruction, W.E.B. DuBois reflects on the story of the American Slave: “The most magnificent drama in the last thousand years of human history is the transportation of ten million human beings out of the dark beauty of their mother continent into the new-found Eldorado of the West. They descended into Hell; and in the third century they arose from the dead, in the finest effort to achieve democracy for the working millions which this world had ever seen” (727).
