W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington were prominent African American leaders in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, each advocating different approaches to racial equality. Washington emphasized vocational education and economic self-reliance, promoting accommodation to segregation in his famous Atlanta Compromise speech. In contrast, Du Bois advocated for immediate civil rights, higher education, and political activism, co-founding the NAACP to fight against racial discrimination. Their differing philosophies reflected broader debates within the African American community about the best path toward achieving equality and empowerment.
