Explanation:

The "Talented Tenth" was a concept developed by W.E.B. Du Bois, which argued that a highly educated elite of African Americans (the top 10%) would lead the advancement of the broader Black community through classical education and intellectual leadership. The other options correspond to the work of different African American leaders: James Weldon Johnson focused on civil rights advocacy, Marcus Garvey promoted Black nationalism and repatriation to Africa, and Booker T. Washington emphasized vocational training and economic self-sufficiency over classical education.

W.E.B. Du Bois's idea that African Americans should receive a classical education
