Overview
The Negro Problem is an classic African American history text by Booker T. Washington.The necessity for the race's learning the difference between being worked and working. He would not confine the Negro to industrial life, but believes that the very best service which any one can render to what is called the "higher education" is to teach the present generation to work and save. This will create the wealth from which alone can come leisure and the opportunity for higher education.The Negro Problem is a collection of seven essays by prominent Black American writers, such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Laurence Dunbar, edited by Booker T. Washington, and published in 1903. It covered such topics as law, education, disenfranchisement, and Black Americans' place in American society.Like much of Washington's own work, the tone of the book was that Black Americans' status in the U.S. was a matter of personal responsibility, but also confronted issues of legal and social racism.[1][2] While this represented the point of view of the authors at the time, some - Du Bois, for example - would later revise their stance to consider the effects of systemic and institutional racism.[citation needed] Washington and Du Bois were again reunited in the 1907 collection, The Negro in the South.
