This report examines how three African-American
writers-Dubois, Locke and Wright-have described challenges facing African-Americans
and
writers, and how they have set forth theories about the future of African-Americans in their writings. The report offers a comparative analysis of the three authors and then chooses one author as representative as the most profound and
effective theory, also giving rationale for this process. This paper focuses on the position of Richard Wright, the author of "Uncle Tom's Children", W.E.B. Dubois and "The Souls of Black Folk", and A. Locke's "The New Negro" and these books' positions as a way to wake people up to see the problems of racial inequality in America.
