What group of people are the group leaders in the black community according to Dubois and why do the need social leadership more than anyone else
The group leader is to be a college educated African American, blacks need leadership more because blacks have no establishes customs, strong family ties, no well defined social class. Generally no structure

They were the top ten percent of blacks in the country (the most successful and best educated)
Dubois response to the people in his life that stated that the talented tenth are exceptions and the rule for blacks was death, crime, and diseas
This is only the norm because they have been forced into submission and that is their life, and the tenth even though disadvantaged still live up to a full measure of European culture
