The Negro by W. E. B. Du Bois was published in 1915 and released in electronic form by Project Gutenberg in 2011. It is a classic - an overview of ancient African history. The book is written as a repudiation to the widely held absurd and humiliating belief that was so prevalent in the post-Civil War period, that the Africans didn't have a history. Dubois covers a variety of African cultures by tracing back to the sub-Saharan civilizations and also includes the history of the slave trade.
