W.E.B. Du Bois advocated for immediate civil rights and higher education for African Americans, emphasizing the importance of developing a "Talented Tenth" who would lead the fight for equality. In contrast, Booker T. Washington promoted a philosophy of vocational training and economic self-reliance, arguing that African Americans should focus on gaining skills and economic stability before seeking full civil rights.
