The revolutionary spirit is a natural state with which one revolts. It struggles to come up with its existence. It is not apparent in adverse conditions, but it reveals itself when a human being becomes aware of its very existence. In the autobiographical novel Black Boy, the protagonist serves as a representative of African Americans who possess a revolutionary spirit. As a child, the protagonist wonders about the discriminatory ways of racism. He prefers freedom with challenges to submissiveness with no challenges.
