"The Negro Problem" by Booker T. Washington et al. is a collection of seven essays published in 1903. Written by prominent Black American writers including W. E. B. Du Bois and Paul Laurence Dunbar during the Jim Crow era, these essays explore law, education, disenfranchisement, and Black Americans' place in society. The collection presents contrasting viewpoints on racial uplift, from Washington's emphasis on industrial education to Du Bois's advocacy for cultivating the "Talented Tenth" through classical education.
