Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois: Two Paths to Ending Jim Crow

Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution With the passage of these amendments to the Constitution, blacks expected all of the rights of citizenship. Black males specifically expected the right to vote because the 15th Amendment stated, “The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

Two Diverse Backgrounds Booker T. Washington W.E.B. DuBois

Booker T. Washington Outlined his views on race relations in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta – “Atlanta Compromise” Felt that black people should work to gain economic security before equal rights Believed black people will “earn” equality

Booker T. Washington Developed programs for job training and vocational skills at Tuskegee Institute Asked whites to give job opportunities to black people Was popular with white leaders in the North and South  

Booker T. Washington Was unpopular with many black leaders   Associated with leaders of the Urban League which emphasized jobs and training for blacks

Booker T. Washington g Born a slave in southwestern Virginia g Believed in vocational education for blacks g Founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama g Believed in gradual equality The slang term “Uncle Tom” is used in the African American or black community to describe someone who is perceived as overly ingratiating in interactions with white people. The term is meant to imply that the Uncle Tom is subservient and excessively deferential, behaving as someone of a lesser class or social status rather than treating whites as equals. Usually, this term is used as an insult. (definition from WiseGeek.com) Accused of being an “Uncle Tom” g Received much white support g Wrote Up From Slavery (1901)

W.E.B. DuBois Views given in The Souls of Black Folks and The Crisis Strongly opposed Booker T. Washington’s tolerance of segregation Demanded immediate equality for blacks

W.E.B. DuBois Felt talented black students should get a classical education Felt it was wrong to expect citizens to “earn their rights” Founded the NAACP along with other black and white leaders

W.E.B. DuBois g Born in 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts Well educated-First African American to receive Ph.D. from Harvard Wanted immediate equality between blacks and whites g Wanted classical higher education for blacks g Wrote The Souls of Black Folk (1903) g The Niagara Movement – led to NAACP

Washington Atlanta Compromise “cast down your bucket where you are” Races can be as the “fingers on a hand” Vocational skills Economic status first DuBois “talented tenth” Liberal arts education Immediate equality
