Preferred term

talented tenth  

Definition

  • W.E.B. Du Bois's theory of “the talented tenth” registers right along with his concept of “double-consciousness” as among his most celebrated and controversial contributions to African American educational, social, and political thought traditions. However, unlike his concept of double consciousness, Du Bois returned to and revised his theory of the talented tenth. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Talented Tenth]
