Washington vs. Debois Debate
I chose Washington over Debois because he had a program that consisted of industrial education, conciliation of the south, and, submission and silence as to civil and political rights. These points were a way for blacks to achieve what they want. Washington had to find a plan to make the south, the north and, the Negroes happy. Washington wanted blacks to receive an industrial education so that they can gain economic success through labor. Washington knew that money had no color and no matter what it would be accepted and most of the Negroes already had skills and trades that they could build off of. He knew that all the whites really cared about was money so he decided that was the way to go about gaining equality. Also Washington wanted conciliation of the south because whites were the ones that held all the jobs. They had to compromise so that can at least show whites that weren’t animals and could achieve the same things whites could. This was one of the biggest compromises they had to make but it was all for the good of the Negroes. The last part of Washington’s program was to submit and be silent against civil and political injustice. This was the hardest part for blacks to do but the more they fight the worst it gets and sometimes they got killed. They can’t expect whites to give them jobs if they were constantly fighting them on civil and political rights. By them submitting whites will be more willing to give and allow them
the greatest intellectual battles U.S. history was the legendary disagreement between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. This intellectual debate sparked the interest of the Northerners as well as the racist whites that occupied the south. This debate was simply about how the blacks, who just gained freedom from slavery, should exist in America with the white majority. Even though Washington and DuBois stood on opposite sides of the fence they both agreed on one thing, that it was a time for a…

political expression. Lawmakers barred blacks from attending white schools, marrying whites, testifying in court, having a gun, or owning property. Southern states rewrote their constitution to separate the races from birth to burial. Booker T. Washington/Tuskegee Institute: He believed in assimilating within the overwhelming white power. He was an ex-slave who founded Tuskegee Institute to promote his belief that blacks should seek economic self-reliance first not political equality. He said that…
court took a conservative attitude and limited influence of the amendment. Cases such as Slaughterhouse and U.S vs. Cruikshank decided basic right did not apply to all situations. In the civil right cases the civil rights act of 1875 was declared unconstitutional because the federal government had no power over the actions of private groups. In the cases Plessy vs. Ferguson and Cumming vs. County board of…
decision Plessy Vs. Ferguson segregation was implemented. This decision was very controversial because it wasn’t deemed to be a moral decision, though the Supreme Court said that it is not racist because the facilities were separate but equal and no discrimination was involved. African Americans thought they had no way to change the situation until Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois came into the picture, though they had different outlooks on how to fight this “war.” Washington believed that…

moralistic about the issue. However, when it came to the land owners and Americans who lived in the Southern part of a very young country, that was America, they were highly preoccupied with their agrarian lifestyle. It is a fact that even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had slaves as did many of the forefathers of the new country. It is also true that many of these individuals had children with their Black slaves, and although it is similarly a matter of historical record that they did free…
