WEB Du Bois and the "Negro Problem": Thoughts on Violence in Philadelphia

Amy Hillier, University of Pennsylvania

Abstract

This sermon, delivered at First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, might also be called "Why a white girl from New Hampshire is studying The Philadelphia Negro." This essay/sermon connects Du Bois's 1896 survey of Philadelphia to the violence currently plaguing Philadelphia.
