"There is a growing urgency, in classrooms as well as in publishing at large, to encompass
the African American experience, African American thought and culture. Much of the
recent headway has been made in the superhero framework, including Black Panther,
but not only there. The tremendous success-in sales and prizes-of March, the trilogy
based upon the life of Congressman John Lewis, is arguably a landmark. No greater
figure exists in African-American thought, the shaping of modern narratives, than
W.E.B. Du Bois, even after the nearly six decades following his 1963 death. DuBois
not only influenced institutions so greatly as to be credited with reshaping them,
he rewrote Black history (with Black Reconstruction, slow to be accepted as one of
the classics of all U.S. history). He also arguably supplied what might be described
as the "poetics" of African American life. With Souls of Black Folk (first published
in 1903), he famously set forth his analysis of the folk culture, including religious
folk culture, that would be the basis for future progress. In doing so, he pleaded
for education and a new sensibility. But he made clear that the promise of these would
not come "from the outside." A graphic novel based on The Souls of Black Folk will
be a dramatic entry to a field growing rapidly within schools and beyond in popular
culture. No "W.E.B. Du Bois" comic proper yet exists, a rather amazing absence, perhaps
because the complexity of his story has not been taken up. It may also be that Du
Bois, whose political life became so controversial from the onset of the Cold War
to the end of his life, has seemed a daunting subject. This graphic novel will be
less ambitious than a comprehensive biographical treatment. Beginning with a chapter
on Du Bois's life before the writing of The Souls of Black Folk, it will utilize that
book itself as the chief text from which to narrate its message, and close with a
postscript chapter on Du Bois's life and work after its publication"
