Two great leaders of the black community in the late 19th and 20th century were W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. However, they sharply disagreed on strategies for black social and economic progress. Their opposing philosophies can be found in much of today's discussions over how to end class and racial injustice, what is the role of black leadership, and what do the 'haves' owe the 'have-nots' in the black community.
Had differing opinions on how to achieve equality ;) apex
he said that Washington was wrong
WEB. DuBois' philosophy was for African-Americans to get a higher education. He had a big debate about his philosophy with Booker T. Washington., whose theory was for blacks to get a basic education, and just get a job to support their families.

Dubois believed that African Americans should not accept segregation
WEB Dubois and Booker T. Washington were both major leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. If WEB Dubois were to criticize Washington it may be that he felt that Washington was too narrow minded and holding back the blacks in America.
Well Booker T. Washington had grown up as a servent while WED Dubois had grown up as a scholar. I think it had to do with where they lived and how they were raised.
Martin Luther King Jr. was influenced by Booker T. Washington's autobiography titled Up From Slavery. He was influenced by W.E.B. DuBois because his father was involved with the NAACP which DuBois helped to start.
it had cost blacks political power.
he said that Washington was wrong
w.e.b. dubois wanted to make us demand our rights but Booker t. Washington wanted us to start with jobs because every time we asked for rights we were automaticly lynched
fewer white people supported higher education for blacks.
Blacks had lost civil rights.
