African American leaders
The goals and strategies of the African American leaders in the late 1800’s to the 1920’s compared to the African American leaders in the middle 1900’s to 1960 are different in a variety of ways. When you look at the late 1800’s to the 1920’s you have the African American leaders WEB DuBois, and Booker T. Washington. Booker T. Washington was a leader that did not mind the thoughts of segregation as long as the African American population was treated equally among the white population. WEB DuBois disagreed with Washington in every way. He believed that segregation was not the right thing for the African Americans whether they had equal civil rights as the whites or not. Then later on in time, looking at the middle 1900’s to 1960 you have the African American leaders Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King had no problems with white population and was a leader that believed civil rights would come to African Americans with little or no violence. Malcolm X on the other hand hated all whites, and believed that the only way for African Americans to gain their civil rights was to be violent. The goals and strategies of the African American leaders changed drastically as time passed over the years.
Booker T. Washington was a dominant leader in the African American community that was an author, educator, orator, and adviser to Republican presidents. WEB DuBois was an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist Pan-Africanist, author, and editor. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were two men who wanted to help inspire African Americans from the ruins of Reconstruction and poverty. During their careers, both Washington and DuBois worked on improving education and reducing discrimination towards African Americans. They were both dynamic figures of the Progressive Age but their strategies of achieving change were very different. Booker T....
