Is Booker T. Washington the son of George Washington?

No, he was not. First, keep in mind that there have been many people named "Washington" in history. Second, President George Washington lived in an entirely different era than Booker T. Washington did: the president died in 1799, while Booker T. Washington was born into slavery, in 1856. We know very little about his parents, other than the fact that his mother's name was Jane. After emancipation, she went to West Virginia to live with her husband and her son Booker-- her husband's name was Washington Ferguson, and it may be that Booker took the "Washington" from him.

What was a focus both Booker t. Washington and w. e. b. du bois had for people on the African diaspora?

Both Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois focused on the advancement and empowerment of African Americans, although their approaches differed. Washington advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance, believing that gradual progress through hard work would lead to social acceptance. In contrast, Du Bois emphasized the importance of higher education and civil rights, arguing that a "Talented Tenth" of the African American community should lead the fight for equality and political representation. Together, they highlighted the need for education and social justice within the African diaspora.
