The Negro Question

The "Negro Question" refers to historical debates about the social, political, and economic integration of Black people, particularly in the context of post-slavery society and racial discrimination. It involves discussions on how to achieve equality, justice, and full participation for Black communities within broader societies that often marginalized or oppressed them. The term emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries when nations grappled with issues of race and civil rights, highlighting the challenges and strategies for overcoming systemic racism and fostering social cohesion.
