12724330, are there any multi-volume biographies about black people?

genuine question.
i'm currently rereading the edmund morris theodore roosevelt biographies. 3 volumes about 700 pages a piece. i see winston churchill the last lion biography series that's 3 volumes and about 1000 pages each.
i look at biographies about black people, mad short.
where are the expansive biographies at for black leaders? who would you want a multi-volume biography on?

But technically, none im aware of
Id say garvey, toussaint, selassie, maybe dubois and mandela could have one pretty easy
