Ch. 17, sec. 3 critical thinking #5

Why did W. E. B. Du Bois oppose Booker T. Washington's views on racial discrimination?


W.E.B. Du Bois did not agree with Washington's "accomidation of segregationists and for blaming black poverty on blacks and urging them to accept discrimination" (p. 531) He believed that Washington did not value the privelage and duty of voting and said he apologized for the injustices done to him. He also said he oppose dthe higher training and ambition of our mind.
