The autobiography chronicles the life of a young Black boy who rose to become the first African American PhD at Harvard, alongside his roles as an educator, editor, and activist. Du Bois's narrative, structured according to his manuscript notes, begins shortly after the Emancipation Proclamation and reflects on his experiences and choices, including his embrace of communism. His lyrical prose articulates enduring societal inequities, making his insights relevant for contemporary readers who grapple with similar frustrations.
