DuBois wrote this speech to criticize Washington's approach at seeking equality. Washington, a quiet activist, was born into slavery and he approached this movement with fear. DuBois was born during reconstruction and was a very loud activist, speaking up for what is right. Although their approaches were quite different, they both wanted the same end result. DuBois wanted the right to vote, civic equality, and the education of youth according to ability. He says that, "The black men of America have a duty to preform" (DuBois), to move forward as equals in society by standing up for what is right and being able to make important contributions to our country/criticize our government.

Subjugation-  freed slaves didn't know they deserved better because of the long history of poor treatment.
Submission-adapting, easier than fight or flight.
Hatred is taught- the child learns from the father and so on.   Protection- Depends on the power of the protector.
Faiths limits- praying can only do so much.
Good intentions- not enough, while nice, does nothing without power.
Silent acceptance- tolerance for the poor treatment of the slaves

Since the dog represents the black population, it shows how even after reconstruction black people were still being discriminated against. Specifically, the dog represents a freed slave. The dog is exploring his freedom and is doing fine which represents a slave just freed trying to start his life. Then the little boy took over and did whatever he wanted with the dog, like the white progressives. The leash was also a reminder of his old life being owned, like to a freed man a constant reminder of his once enslaved life.

-DuBois firmly asked
-Washington was appointed by white people
-DuBois wanted black people to choose their own leaders
-DuBois asked for the right to vote, civic equality, and the education of youth according to ability
-DuBois believes that if they don't ask for these directly, they will never get them, while Washington believes that the black people need to work in the industrial jobs to get money and that the rest of their rights will come later (but if they don't have rights, there will be no way of them to protect their property, etc.)

This helps us understand the post- reconstruction by the state of turmoil the south was in during this time period. This was a time of confusion and disagreement of what the next steps would be. This is highlighted in the way that Booker T. Washington and Dubios had very different visions for reconstruction. This speech also shows the battle within the community of Africans in the south, and the hardships of taking the next steps. There is a state of fear and pain with the memory of injustice still haunting many people and, and proved difficult to escape when trying to recover.

1) Washington silenced the suffering of African Americans by not shedding the truth on the way that they were actually treated.
2) the way to get rights is to make a disruption in society, rather then acting like everything is fine.
3) Gaining rights is the most important thing so that American American's can actually protect themselves. If laws are not created then African American people will not get rights

This helps us to see how Booker T. Washington wanted to achieve equality for black people. He thought that the best way to do this is to not strive for a higher place in society and the work place but to take the lower paying, more laborious jobs.
