Contrasting the perspectives and goals of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois:
During 1890's when the racial segregation was going on African Americans desperately needed a way to respond to the white supremacists of that time and the main advocates for the Negro rights were Booker T Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois.
Booker T Washington firmly believed in solving these issues and problems through education.
He believed that African Americans are educating themselves through trades and business. Du Bois believed that African Americans should protest unjust treatment and also demand equal rights.
