W.E.B Du Bois Black people must push hard for civil rights through political action – “By every civilized and peaceful method we must strive for the rights which the world accords to men, clinging unwaveringly to those words which the sons of the Fathers would gladly forget: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”– W.E.B Du Bois Booker T. Washington Black people must work hard and be patient to prove themselves – “Those of my race underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with the Southern white man. Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.”– Booker T. Washington What are the pros and cons of each argument? Who’s position do you more agree with?
