DuBois was more right in this time. He made demands and was willing to fight for what he wanted for African Americans. Washington cared about his people but had not driving force other than his words. DuBois made things happen especially with the NAACP. He had more drive and as willing to go farther for his cause.

I think that overall they agreed on most things. Things that African Americans deserved and needed to be equal in the United States. But their ways of getting those things were very different. Washington made speeches and had great ideals. While DuBios Meade demands send pushed for things.

W. E. B. DuBois was definitely a progressive. But he had a much more straightforward in your face approach than Washington. He was a leader for all African Americans and helped found the NAACP. He pushed for people to take things into their own hands and wait for things.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Washington was a progressive. He was a leader fors all African Americans. From his speech he talks about "cast down your bucket" which in my mind says stop and look around you. He's telling his people to look around them but also everyone else. Look around at these African Americans that have done so much for you as slaves and now can still do the same things as paid workers.

I feel that while Washington was on the correct track and was hitting on some great points of reform, ultimately DuBois does a far better job of putting passion into his argument and in turn driving his audience towards action, This is directly tied into the nature of their arguments, since Washington advocates for equality through asking for a helping hand, his argument lacks any concrete action steps that can be taken to improve the lives of African Americans. It is an argument dependent on the willingness of Whites to accept and integrate the A.A. community into their own. DuBois instead calls for the task of providing equality for all to be a nationwide effort stating "the hands of none of us are clean if we bend not our energies to righting these great wrongs'. Simply put, the task of equality is not to be undertook by one race or community but instead must be a unified effort in order to create lasting change

Both Washington and DuBois advocate for equal rights, education, and for more political power. They differ in their means of achieving their goals. Washington says that in order to have reform, the A.A. people must extend their hands to their white neighbors to be taught and to be integrated into their daily life as their abilities allow. This is a very passive and non direct way of reform and is a stark contrast to the activist approach that DuBois pushes for. DuBois calls for A.A.'s to be vocal about the injustices they face and to challenge the norms of society in order to push towards a more unified community.

DuBois was also a key figure in the progressive movement, however he was far more intense and direct than Washington. He specifically lists the following three basic rights he and his fellow men should fight for; the right to vote, civic equality and the education of African American youth based on ability. He acknowledges the fact that in order for these points of reformation to become reality, the A.A. people must unify. He says they must not stand idly by and accept what is given to them, but instead be vocal and direct about their current state and how they wish it to be altered.

I would say Washington was a part of the progressive movement due to his calls for social reform for the African Americans of the South. He calls for equal civil rights, more education for A.A. and to extend a hand to all people nearest them in order to be integrated smoothly into the modern world. He sums this nicely by saying "We shall constitute one third and more of the ignorance and crime of the south, or one third of its intelligence and progress" which exhibits the perils of not reforming and highlights the benefits.

I believe that DuBois made a better argument to advance blacks civil rights. He was pushing them to try and get higher education and hold political roles. His attitude to never settle for less than what they deserve is what helped them get where they are today. DuBois also became a professor so he was able to spread all of these thoughts and teachings to so many young people across the country.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that they didn't agree on was in Washington's thinking that black people can only survive through submission. DuBois wanted everyone to have the exact same rights and to never give up an opportunity because the color of your skin. He had a more aggressive approach, where Washington was basically taking what he could get.

# data[].attributes.body
W.E.B DuBois was also a part of progressive movement. He was someone who had a higher education and was wanting others to do the same thing. He took some of Washington's ideas and made them a little bit more clear and challenged some as well. DuBois was striving for blacks to want to have the exact same rights as white people did with education and political power.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Washington was a part of the progressive movement. He was a leader for all black people to have the same rights as everyone else. Towards the end of his speech he explained that it is important for everyone to have the same privileges of the law, but even more important to exercise these privileges. Some white people didn't want to follow the laws that were put in place because they didn't believe blacks should have the same rights.

I think in the end DuBois was definitely more on the right track then Washington. Washington believed in equal rights but he was more of a realest and didn't fight for more then what he thought he could fight for at the time. DuBois on the other hand believed that African Americans deserved the same rights as white's no matter what. He wanted the right to vote, he wanted civic equality and he wanted education for all not just White Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
They definitely had their agreements but many disagreements as well. As for agreements they both had the same goal. You look in American Yawp and the textbook they both believe that African American's deserve freedoms. They both believe in having unity between races. But one major difference between them is DuBois took things to the next level with equal rights.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that W.E.B DuBois was active as well. He was much more radical though. He was more about getting equal rights right away as it shows in American Yawp that he created the NAACP. As well in Document 21-6 he says that what Washington failed to fight for in political power and better education for black youth is what he wanted to fight for and more.

I believe Booker T. Washington was very much a part of the progressive movement. It shows in American Yawp that Washington was active in black rights. His "Atlanta Compromise" speech spoke volumes about what he believed in. As for the Atlanta Exposition, One quote stood out to me the most that Washington said was "Cast down your bucket where you are"(115.) Basically he was saying that no matter what race you are, to always be fair and giving no matter who they are.

I think DuBois made the better argument about hot to advance black civil rights in this era in American history. I say this because I think he had more of a peaceful way of going about it and the Washington's doctrine made people wanted to make African American rights a priority of only African Americans. Dubois said if you want to gain rights then you need to gain respect and listen to others and stop the discrimination in a short summary of his words. He wanted everyone involved and I think that is the best way to go about it.

I think that the one point that book Washington and Dubois both agreed on is that they both sought to get the same rights for African Americans that white people had. They wanted an equal opportunity at life, education, and voting. They both thought they should take a stand for what they believe in and they did so by becoming advocates for the things that we just read about.

# data[].attributes.body
I also believe that W.E.B DuBois was an active member of the progressive movement as well. The American Yawp book described him as someone who wanted African Americans to come together for a greater cause and work together to get the equal rights and treatments that they sought.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Booker T. Washington was a person apart of the progressive movement. In our American Yawp reading, it explained to us that he was advocating for the same rights of African Americans as the white people had and how they needed to do something about it to change it. Along with this, The Atlanta Exposition shows us exactly how Washington was apart of this movement because he became an active leader for it.

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were contemporary activists in the Progressive Era who were both interested in advancing the lives of black Americans.
