Summary	"When C.L.R. James's play "Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History" opened in London featuring Paul Robeson in 1936, it marked the first time black actors starred on the British stage in a play written by a black playwright. But after this groundbreaking play ended its run, the script was lost for almost seventy years. Then a draft copy was found among James's archives, and now this extraordinary drama has been turned into a graphic novel by artists Nic Watts and Sakina Karimjee"-- Provided by publisher.
