They are three of the most important writers in American history: Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. DuBois. Their personal triumphs over adversity, their rise to prominence, and their incisive writings on the original sin of American experiment, make them quintessentially American. As a result, these three writers are arguably more significant representatives of the American character and the American story, than any other writers prominent in the canon of American literature.
