One similarity between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois is that both were prominent African American leaders who sought to improve the social and economic conditions of Black people in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They both emphasized the importance of education and advocated for the advancement of African Americans, albeit through different approaches—Washington favored vocational training and gradual progress, while Du Bois championed higher education and immediate civil rights.
