In his writing, DuBois describes how white people have stripped black people of essential rights, including the right to vote, the right to civil equality, and the right to a decent education. From this, readers can infer that there was a time between the Emancipation and the Reconstruction when black people had these rights. DuBois also speaks to the complex interracial dynamic in the South post-Reconstruction. He describes black people as being led by an outsider (Booker T Washington), and acting subservient to white people so as to advance economically. He thus brings to light the struggles many black people face concerning identity, describing the internal struggle between earning money and being treated as human. Finally, through his criticism of Booker T Washington's appeal to white Southerners, DuBois shows the backwardness of Southerners' fantasy about returning to slavery.
