T Washington, the most influential black leader of his time,…

    During the late 19th/early 20th century, there were two civil rights activists who wanted to better the Northern and Southern communities. Citizens respected African American activists like W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington, because of their perseverance in solving political and cultural problems within the black communities. Although, W.E.B Dubois and Booker Washington were opinionated about these issues, they wanted refinement in the government 's decisions. Acknowledging W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington 's perspectives, I agree with both of them because they had a logical argument and propositions that could be convenient for the people. In 1895, Booker T. Washington, an African-American leader presented a powerful speech before a predominately…

    W.E.B. DuBois is generally regarded as one of greatest African-American scholars and civil rights activist in American history. But one issue troubling historians is their personal portrait of DuBois in their works. No one questioned his resume, the brilliant African-American scholar, author, and civil rights activist during the Progressive Era. In the discussion of DuBois, one controversial issue has been a debate over his personality. One the one hand, some historians argue that he was an elitist intellectual, contradicting, and his solutions to race relations were unrealistic.…

Newly freed slaves struggled with fitting into society because before, they had been viewed as nothing but property. As free men, gaining a place in their communities was problematic and many ideas arose on how to improve their situations. From this, two great thinkers, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, emerged and came up with different ideas for African Americans to emerge in society. Although their opinions may differ, they have one common idea: self improvement.…

    The late 1800s were a strange time for “black” people because although they were supposedly freed from slavery they were still dealing with tones of racial persecution while trying to assert themselves into the dominate society. A debate aroused as to how “black” people should approach their new status in society and how they should deal with the continued racism they were facing. The two individuals at the frontline of this debate were Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Dubois. One may wonder how activists during the time of slavery such as Frederick Douglass would have approached the issue and whose argument he would have prefered. I think if Fredrick Douglass had still been alive he would have taken the side of W.E.B Dubois because they both…
