Washington V. DuBois

Booker T Washington was a civil rights activist during the late 1800's who fought for the gradual inclusion of blacks into the culture of America. He is well known for the moving speech that he made that would later be known as the Atlanta Compromise in 1893. While that was going on there was a man by the name of WEB DuBois who wanted instant rights for all black Americans and for the Jim Crow Laws be ridded from the country. He was known as one of the people who founded the National American Advancement of Colored People or the NAACP. These two men hated each other for their contradictory beliefs on how fast they would achieve equal rights for blacks and what they needed to do to earn those rights.
Booker T Washington was well renowned amongst the white leaders during this time because he wanted to teach the African Americans how to do jobs they were aloud to do well. How he did that was create a college named Tuskegee institute that would have devoted programs that would teach vocational skills such as wood works and scientific farming. He was very popular amongst the mass of African Americans because it gave them a way to support their families while black rights movement leaders hated him for his gradual integration beliefs. The basis for all his teachings were that they should have to work to gain their rights.
DuBois on the other hand was having none of what Washington was having with the gradual earning of rights, he believed that the blacks should have immediate rights for all through the belief that they should have already been born with them. He also believed that they should be sending the best of the blacks to the top prestigious schools in America so that they can further the advancement of the African American people. He would also create Howard university which was an all black school which gave its students a quality education. Albeit these two men did not see many things eye to eye they both believed in education for blacks.
