The Philadelphia Negro

A Social Study
Book • 1889
W. E. B.

Du Bois's "The Philadelphia Negro" is a groundbreaking sociological study of the Black community in Philadelphia's Seventh Ward.

Published in 1899, it challenged prevailing racist narratives about Black poverty and social ills.

Du Bois meticulously documented the living conditions, economic struggles, and social structures that shaped the lives of Black residents.

The study's emphasis on systemic factors rather than individual failings was revolutionary for its time.

It remains a landmark work in sociology and continues to inform discussions about race, poverty, and social justice.
