Joshua Robles · Answer 2

Disagreed on how to reach equality.

Explanation:

W. E. B Du Bois and Brooker T. Washington showed African Americans that even the leaders disagreed on how to reach equality. Both of them had different philosophies on how to end class and racial injustice.

Brooker T. Washington defended that African Americans should elevate themselves by education in crafts, industrial and farming skills, this way African Americans would be fully accepted by whites.

W. E. B Du Bois disagreed with Washington, he said that trying to win white's respect would only perpetuate white oppression. He argued that there should be a small group of African Americans that should be college-educated, this way they would guide the rest of the group.
