I’LL BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW………..
….that one of the most celebrated writers in history was a Black man.
Alexandre Dumas, author of The Three Musketeers(1844), The Counte Of Monte Cristo(1844) and The Man In The Iron Mask, among many others, was the grandson of a French nobleman and a Haitian slave.
Somehow my high school English Lit teacher forgot to tell me that.
