    In his youth, Dubois was an ardent admirer of Booker T. Washington, shared his views, dreamed of working in Taskigi - the famous university, whose name became a household name. However, by the beginning of the century, differences of opinion became increasingly more significant and gradually Dubois and Booker T. Washington turned into opponents. Almost until the end of his life, William Dubois supported the theory of "talented ten percent" - the idea that the fate of the whole people will be determined by the small elite of educated, talented, advanced intellectuals. He was convinced that they needed a full-fledged university education, so that, having joined the modern culture, they could then raise the entire Negro people to a higher level of civilization. Otherwise, the blacks will have to accept the leadership of the whites, and this could not guarantee a rapid cultural and economic recovery. Booker T. Washington, although he 'assigned' an important place to the educated elite, was convinced that the growth of the middle class would play a major role.
