Question:
| Two of the most controversial African American scholars in the
late 1800s had a huge difference of opinion on how to help newly
freed African Americans succeed in the American society. One man
was born a slave, raised in deep South amongst legal racism and the
KKK. Another man was born free in abolitionist North and was able
to succeed and obtain a Harvard doctorate despite his color. Now
that you have read about both DuBois and Washington, what were the
differences between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois? Were
their goals similar? If so, how?
And in your opinion which of these men had the best plan for African American to be accepted and have success in the late 1800s. Please remember the society of the late 1800s was nothing like our society today, so before you answer imagine being an ex-slave (with all that environment) free in the deep South among people who still view you as a slave and who are bitter over the major war loss from the Civil War and being governed by Northerners. Also just a note: There were some African Americans who lived in the North and who moved away from the South to the west but the majority lived in the deep South until the Great Migration of the early 1910's to 1940's.
