Equality
It represented African Americans and their struggle for equality.
The African American leader who demanded full and immediate equality in the late 1800s was W.E.B. Du Bois. He was a co-founder of the NAACP and advocated for the rights of African Americans through his writings and activism. Du Bois rejected the gradualist approach of other leaders like Booker T. Washington, insisting instead on political and civil rights as essential for true equality. His famous concept of "the Talented Tenth" emphasized the importance of higher education for African Americans to achieve leadership roles in society.
W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington had fundamentally different approaches to improving the condition of African Americans. Washington advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance, emphasizing gradual progress and accommodation to segregation. In contrast, Du Bois called for immediate civil rights, higher education for the "Talented Tenth," and active political engagement to challenge systemic racism and achieve social equality. Du Bois believed that only through demanding civil rights and political power could African Americans secure true equality.
Women and African Americans were discriminated against and not allowed equality in the society through voting, education, business, and income.
