Black America has always been a hot topic when it comes to education. Three icons of the Civil Rights movement have had a major impact on education in black America and their work proves it. Report highlights the point of view of the authors which have been demonstrated in the articles written by them. There are three articles which have been assessed to know what the authors think. The first two articles mentioned below are written by W.E.B. Du Bois in the year 1903, named The Talented Tenth and The Souls of Black Folks. The other author is Frederick Douglass who wrote the article about himself in the year 1845 named "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave." The first article, The Talented Tenth, talks about the American Negroes in terms of leadership, education and development as well as the problems that they have to face. According to Du Bois, Negro conventions always talked about the slavery and race problems that have been faced by Negroes for quite long. He even stated the three tasks in his article about Negro population such as the ways to educate and develop the Negro men, emphasising on their capability of being the leaders and lastly depicting the various issues and problems that they are likely to face. This race is rather deprived in some issues like education, equal opportunities, social responsibilities etc. They have the quality of leadership but are not well-educated so as to progress towards enhancing this quality. The whites do not treat them at par and deprive them from opportunities that will help them progress.

Negroes normally study in the schools and universities where they are more than the whites. He even emphasised that Negroes require more of social leadership than any other group and they fail to have any establishes customs, traditions, family relations or effective social classes. It is highly needed to evolve such things in their lives slowly and steadily. Du Bois acclaimed that American people have to understand the fact that work and education both are needed to uplift any person. Work alone cannot do wonders unless it is backed up by correct ideals and supported by right level of intelligence. A person who fails to work smartly by applying his skills and intelligence can never reach perfection as compared to ones that work by incorporating ideals and intelligence both at the workplace. The author revealed in the end that Negro race should be made missionaries of culture and leaders of positive thoughts among various other people. Negro colleges should train men for this very purpose as no other group will fulfil this responsibility than Negros. They have the spirit and right attitude towards leadership and culture aspect. The only thing is that they are short of skills for which it is
