520			_a"Service by the Educated Negro" by Roscoe Conkling Bruce is an address delivered at the commencement exercises of the M Street High School in Washington, D.C., in the early 20th century. This book falls under the category of educational discourse, focusing on the responsibilities and potential of educated African Americans. Written during a period marked by significant social change and challenges for African Americans, the book aims to inspire its readers by discussing the themes of service, empowerment, and the obligation to uplift the community through personal achievement and integrity. In the text, Bruce emphasizes the importance of education as a means of elevating not just the individual, but the entire community. He discusses various roles—such as teachers, preachers, doctors, and business professionals—that educated African Americans can pursue, encouraging them to leverage their influence to bring about positive change. He stresses that intellectual and moral character are essential for effective teaching and leadership, advocating for the educated Negro to serve as a source of inspiration and a living example for others. Bruce also highlights the social issues facing the Negro community, such as high mortality rates and economic challenges, suggesting that success in various professions can contribute to broader social uplift. Ultimately, the address calls for a commitment to personal and communal success, encapsulated in the phrase "noblesse oblige"," or the notion that privilege and education bring with them responsibilities to serve others.
