The "Talented Tenth" is a term popularized by W.E.B. Du Bois in the early 20th century to describe the leadership class of African Americans who were educated and capable of advancing the community. Du Bois believed that this elite group could uplift the rest of the African American population through education, activism, and cultural development. He argued that investing in the education of this talented minority was crucial for achieving social and political equality. The concept highlighted the importance of intellectual leadership in the fight against racial discrimination and inequality.
The Talented Tenth meant the 10% of African Americans who were the educated, would be the leaders of race improvement.
