Booker T Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were civil rights leaders with polarizing opinions as to how equality should be attained. These two leaders emerged after the Civil War, when Americans were trying to establish a new normal for interactions between blacks and whites. Washington believed that blacks should work and prove themselves worthy of greater human rights. He established several schools for the education of blacks in various fields, but none of the positions he trained workers for were very elevated. DuBois is known for his revolutionary and fiery opinions. He believed that equality was not something to be waited for, and that blacks have nothing to "prove" to whites as far as their capabilities. Though these two leaders both desired equality, their methods for attaining it were very different.
