Alexandre Dumas, the Black author of The Three Musketeers, built one of the greatest literary legacies in history.
This video explores how Alexandre Dumas rose to global fame — and why parts of his identity were minimized for generations.
Born to a French nobleman and a woman of African descent, Alexandre Dumas became the mastermind behind The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. Yet despite his massive influence on European literature, discussions about his heritage were often sidelined or softened in mainstream narratives.
