The "new Negro" was a concept of the second half of the 19th century, after the Civil War, when African-Americans were hoping to represent themselves in new, progressive ways, either in the halls of politics or in culture. There was a movement from the old Negro - that is, the plantation slave - to the new Negro, African-Americans who were considered more refined, educated, sophisticated, and involved in the political process.
