Booker T. Washington vs. W.E.B Du Boise
Thesis statement: Although Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Du Boise had the same goals of educational reform, economic growth and social progress for African Americans, they had very diverse views and approaches in doing so. Body 1: Booker T. Washington’s beliefs and views Booker T. Washington believed that African Americans should be granted the opportunity from the whites to continue to portray their loyalty, just as they have done in the past, and fill up the industrial jobs, work on farms, work in business to grow economically and eventually given the social equivalence that they were looking for from the white society. Also believed in industrial education and basic schooling for the African Americans.
Body 2: W.E.B DuBoise’s views beliefs and views “We want full manhood suffrage, and we want it now, henceforth and forever.”
W.E.B DuBoise more so wanted social progress for the African Americans, he felt that if African Americans were given the right to vote, every other opportunity will follow.
He also encouraged advance education.
Body 3:
“I am just as opposed to Booker Washington as a voter with all his Angelo Saxon re-enforcements, as I am to the coconut-headed, chocolate-colored, typical little coon, Andy Dotson, who blacks my shoes every morning…” This shocking and sickening statement was said by the white supremacist senator J.K.Vardaman of Mississippi. This was one of the many things that can express how White Americans still felt about the African Americans even after the civil war. In 1866 the Supreme Court upheld segregation and the doctrine of “separate but equal” set forth in the south. The 14th Amendment, ratified in July 9, 1868 granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and also gave every man equal rights, but the “separate but equal”
