is a man of action, which makes him so captivatingly persuasive in his ways. Initially, what makes DuBois so persuasive is his utter opposition to Booker T. Washington, a fellow civil rights activist. One may have thought that as civil rights activists, both men would be in agreement with one another. However, this is not the case.
