B Dubois were both activists that wanted to help elevate African Americans by challenging white supremacy, but they did have different routes they took in order to contribute to the black community. Booker T. wanted blacks to attend schools, but to enhance their agricultural skills, whereas W.E.B Dubois wanted blacks to get an education, cultivate the mind and become leaders.

So don’t think this is an “angry black girl” rant, but instead recognize that I just want a chance to make people aware that the things they see in the media aren’t always true because not all black women name their daughters after colors like—Blue.
