Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois

Hey everyone! Today we discussed the legality or constitutionality of the Plessy v. Ferguson court case. We also briefly discussed several African American reformers of the late 19th-early 20th centuries.

For homework, you are to read the two primary sources by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. Please write down their beliefs and arguments and be ready for our debate on Friday. We will be debating which is the most effective way of gaining racial equality during the time period, Washington's method or DuBois's method?

Have a great day!
