1. Anything you can do . . .
What is something that you are really good at? Has anyone ever tried to stop you from doing it for any reason? Why did they do that? Is there something better you could do with your time?

2. Comparing Contrasts
Look at the lives of Booker T. Washington and WEB Dubois
Compare and contrast them with a Venn
Keep working on your Reconstruction EP

3. Sign of the Times
African Americans were being mistreated through everything from the Jim Crow laws, to disenfranchisement
Essentially nullifying the 14th and 15th amendment with the Plessy case, Blacks are more held down than ever before
Two men rose up to fight for racial equality at two different paces

4. Booker T. Washington 1856-1915 Born a slave in Virginia
When freed he moved to West Virginia where he worked manual labor and went to college
He went to Hampton University and eventually became headmaster at Tuskegee University
He was an author, political activist and educator that fought for equal treatment of Blacks

5. Washington Effects
Took the approach that Blacks should rise up in White society through hard work before civil rights
Made his famous Atlanta Compromise speech at the Cotton exposition of 1895
Often criticized by Dubois and NAACP for going too slow
Events like mass lynching in Georgia and the 1906 Race Riot helped the case that things were not progressing

6. W.E.B. Dubois
Started off agreeing with Washington but later opposed them
Born in Mass. and experienced Jim Crow for the first time in Tenn. at Fisk University where he went to school
Later got his Masters and PHD from Harvard
Dubois developed the idea of the “talented tenth”

7. Dubois effects
Dubois began teaching at what would be called Clark Atlanta University
Dubois time in Atlanta was important because he wrote the souls of black folk and created NAACP
He believed that Blacks could rise up with the use of education and should receive equal rights now rather than later
His ideas for social and political rights for all led to the modern Civil Rights movement

8. Washington vs. Dubois
