African American Higher Education
Booker T. Washington
Founded Tuskegee Institute
Education would end racism
Washington argued the Black people should temporarily forego "political power, insistence on civil rights, and higher education of Negro youth. They should concentrate all their energies on industrial education."
Only 4% of African Americans attended college or higher learning institutions.

21. II. Expanding Higher Education
W.E.B. Du Bois
Favored a liberal arts education
"history cannot ignore W.E.B. DuBois because history has to reflect truth and Dr. DuBois was a tireless explorer and a gifted discoverer of social truths. His singular greatness lay in his quest for truth about his own people. There were very few scholars who concerned themselves with honest study of the black man and he sought to fill this immense void. The degree to which he succeeded disclosed the great dimensions of the man.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
