The Negro in the South His Economic Progress in Relation to his Moral and Religious Development

by W. E. B. (William Edward Burghardt) Du Bois

"The Negro in the South" by W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington is a book written in 1907 that examines the social history of African Americans in the southern United States. Compiled from lectures on Christian sociology, the work presents contrasting perspectives from two prominent activists. Washington explores economic development during and after slavery, while Du Bois analyzes the South's economic transformation and the role of religion, offering competing visions for Black advancement in post-Reconstruction America.
