Am 18. April 1903 erschien The Souls of Black Folk bei McClurg and Company in Chicago. Das 'brillante Werk' (Max Weber) wurde sofort ein Erfolg und machte seinen Autor, W. E. B. Du Bois, zum wichtigsten Führer der Schwarzenbewegung in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Buch gilt als 'Urtext der afroamerikanischen Erfahrung' (Henry Louis Gates) und ist heute fester Bestandteil des Lektüreprogramms nordamerikanischer Colleges. Du Bois schildert in Die Seelen der Schwarzen seine Eindrücke in den Südstaaten der USA, manchmal mit dem genauen und distanzierten Blick des Soziologen oder Historikers, manchmal in Form einer Erzählung oder eines poetischen Reiseberichts. Otto Kallscheuer bezeichnete das Werk in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung als ein 'aus soziologischen Analysen, historischen Skizzen, sozialpsychologischen Essays und autobiographisch inspirierter Fiktion komponiertes Tableau schwarzer Demütigung'.

Booker T. Washington emerged as a prominent African American leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for a conciliatory approach toward the white majority. He prioritized vocational education for the black community over liberal arts and preferred behind-the-scenes influence to public protests against discrimination. While this strategy gained support from white politicians and businessmen, it sparked controversy among black intellectuals who criticized his reluctance to emphasize civil rights, fearing it would perpetuate segregation and second-class status for African Americans.

First published serially in the Christian newspaper "The Outlook" in 1900, "Up from Slavery" is the classic autobiography of one of the most controversial figures in American history, Booker T. Washington. "Up from Slavery," recounts Washington's rise from a Virginia tobacco farm slave to his long standing tenure as President of the famed Tuskegee Institute of Alabama. Booker T. Washington was instrumental in helping to establish schools specializing in vocational training for minorities in order to advance their position in society by obtaining marketable skills. Washington's message was one of the advancement of African Americans through economic empowerment for as he put it, "the individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race." While he has been described as an "accommodationist" and a "calculating realist," his message of self-empowerment has been a dramatic force in the fight for racial equality and shall forever be remembered in the annals of American history.

UP FROM SLAVERY The autobiography of Booker T. Washington is a startling portrait of one of the great Americans of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The illegitimate son of a white man and a Negro slave, Washington, a man who struggled for his education, would go on to struggle for the dignity of all his people in a hostile and alien society. THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK W.E.B. Du Bois's classic is a major sociological document and one of the momentous books in the mosaic of American literature. No other work has had greater influence on black thinking, and nowhere is the African-American's unique heritage and his kinship with all men so passionately described. THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN EX-COLORED MAN Originally published anonymously, James Weldon Johnson's penetrating work is a remarkable human account of the life of black Americans in the early twentieth century and a profound interpretation of his feelings towards the white man and towards members of his own race. No other book touches with such understanding and objectivity on the phenomenon once called "passing" in a white society. These three narratives, gathered together in Three Negro Classics, chronicle the remarkable evolution of African-American consciousness on both a personal and social level. Profound, intelligent, and insightful, they are as relevant today as they have ever been.
