Du Bois grounded American radical possibility in black experience, not chosen-nation myth

Evidence

Here Du Bois insists on a different vision of the country—one that isn’t predicated on the idea that America is God’s chosen nation. Instead, the experiences of black people are the basis for a radical imagining of what America is and what the country might be. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 440
