This chapter presents an essay by W. E. B. Du Bois that deals with the issue of race. He raises questions such as: What is the real meaning of race. What has, in the past, been the law of race development? What lessons has the past history of race development to teach the rising Negro people? He describes the American Negro Academy, which aims at once to be the epitome and expression of the intellect of the black-blooded people of America, the exponent of the race ideals of one of the world's great races. He concludes by outlining a proposed creed for the Academy.

Keywords:   W. E. B. Du Bois, race development, American Negro, African Americans, race relations, American Negro Academy
