you will have to read Booker T. Washington "The Atlantic Exposition" and W.E.B. DuBois "Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and others". (Chapter 1&2)
Note: I do not have this book at this very moment but here is the ISBN number 978-0-393-91155-8 "The Norton Anthology of African American Literature Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
• Washington experienced slavery first hand.
• Washington stressed education, especially industrial education.
• Washington advocated for economic security above voting and civil rights. He also wished to reduce anti-black violence.
• W. E. B. DuBois grew up in the North. He never experienced slavery first hand.
• Dubois was the first African American to receive a doctorate from Harvard University. He believed in something he called the "the talented tenth", the percentage of the black population who could rise up to lead the black people through intellectual accomplishment.
• Dubois believed that equality with whites was more important than Washinton's dream of making blacks independent business and property owners. He also stressed the necessity of suffrage..... the ability to vote. Note, Dubois wasn't interested in winning the vote for all blacks..... only those that were educated.
