4) Its hard to say whose philosphy or approach was better. Due to the era and time they were living in, washingtons approach may have been more effective. Only because he could appeal to the white audience by remaining conservative in hard times.

3) DuBois and Washington agreed disagreed on the strategies for black social and economic progress. Washington argued that blacks should accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work. DuBois argued that Washingtons approach will only perpetuate white oppression, he advocated political action and civil rights agendas. People looked on to both DuBois and washingtons opinions to further their owns. They both agreed that segregation was wrong.

2)DuBois Is progessive due to his activities with black progress. He founded the NAACP and the Niagara movement which were movements to fight inequality.

In the Atlanta Exposition speech, Washington spoke on behalf of African American reconstruction. His concerns were to be above the grievances that Africans Americans suffered and not let that define their status in nature. Take heed to the opportunities and construct surrounded. Due to the dehumanization of american americans, his goal was to humanize African Americans in American society. Showing that, they too are law abiding and willing to die for the country. Its a genius approach to use towards a room full of white men who were looking to form a country. It may have been an emotionless construct but he was part of the progressive movement.

I think that DuBois makes a better argument than Washington simply because it seems backwards for African Americans or any race at any time to temporarily give up their rights or persuit of their equal rights in exchange for financial gain.

# data[].attributes.body
Dubois was in disagreement with Washington about the approach Washington promoted that African Americans should temporarily focus soley on financial gain and put aside the drive for political power, civil rights, and higher education for the youth.

W.E.B. Dubois is definitely part of the progressive movement. He has a different approach than Booker T. Washington in the movement. When he says "Negros must insist continually, in season and out of season, that voting is necessary to modern manhood, that color discrimination is barbarism, and that black boys need education as well as white boys." He is promoting social change through democratic gov't process.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that W.E.B Dubois was right, because America was going through massive changes, living conditions were poor, corruption was rampant, and working conditions weren't much better. Dubois was right that people should demand for more equality, especially in a time where minorities had very little rights.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that both Washington and Dubois agree on is that the treatment of black people was poor, especially in the South, and that there were few opportunities. But what they disagreed on was how to improve life for black people in the South. Washington thought that continually demanding social and economic equality harmed the cause, while Debois insisted that black people should demand equal rights.

# data[].attributes.body
W.E.B Dubois is progessive because he believes " that a way for a people to gain respect is not by continually belittling and ridiculing themselves:" A way to get respect and get change is to not think of one race inferior than another.

Progressivism is the belief that men should help those who can't help themselves and fight for social reform. Although, Washington understands that there needs to be peace for both blacks and whites to prosper, it seems that he is in support of "separate, but equal" idea shown in the Atlanta Exposition Address. He states, " In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." Washington would rather be separate, but equal, but the entire point of progressivism is to help people who have a low status, to a better, equal standing. Being separate, enforces the idea that one race is better than the other

# data[].attributes.body
Washington can be considered a progressive in that his belief was blacks could rise above racial injustice through self help and education.

# data[].attributes.body
Although both make many good arguments I think that DeBois makes a better argument in that African Americans should not just conform to what white people want. They should stick up and fight for equal civil rights like voting and education of the youth.

# data[].attributes.body
Dubois did not agree with Washington on much but one thing they did agree on was that African American people get equal civil rights. But Dubois does not agree with Washington on how he ask African Americans to give up political power, insistence on civil rights, and higher education of Negro youth. He doesn't think that it is necessary for them to do that to.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading the article, it shows W.E.B. DuBois is very much intending and partaking in the progressive movement. Where he does not agree with Booker T. Washington he still has every intention of doing what he can to help the African Americans to achieve more rights and freedom. When he says "Negros must insist continually, in season and out of season, that voting is necessary to modern manhood, that color discrimination in barbarism..." he is voicing how prosperity of African Americans is deserved and highly hoped for from not only him, but all African Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
It is evident Booker T. Washington made his best efforts, and successfully contributed to the progressive movement. When he says "cast down your buckets..." he is implementing that both blacks and whites can/should work together because the end result would be much greater than that of them being separate. He felt that coming together would bring everything up, creating a better end result where everyone is treated equal.

# data[].attributes.body
W.E.B. Dubois is also progressive because he advocates to get equal civil rights. He says, "Negros must insist continually, in season and out of season, that voting is necessary to modern manhood, that color discrimination is barbarism, and that black boys need education as well as white boys....

When it comes down to it I know Booker T. Washingtons heart was in the right place, I feel as though W.E.B. DuBois makes a more compelling approach to how to advance black civil rights. I believe that completely giving up the rights of all African American people to try and "possibly" gain them in the future is not the most beneficial approach. I believe that when W.E.B. DuBois says we fight for these rights, and we don't give up until receiving them will show that they deserve the rights just as anyone else should.

# data[].attributes.body
Well W.E.B. DuBois clearly didn't agree with Booker T. Washington because he believed that African Americans could live everyday lives and not be discriminated for their skin color. DuBois also didn't like that Washington suggests that "All black people give up, at-least temporarily, three things; being political power, civil rights, and higher education of negro youth." DuBois felt as though giving all of that up was not alright, he believed it would speed up the process of their rights being indefinitely taken from them, creating more inferiority towards them.

The definition of progressivism is support for or advocacy of social reform. Based on that definition Booker T. Washington is progressive.
He says, "Casting down your bucket among my people, helping and encouraging them as you are doing on the these grounds, and to education of head, hand, and heart, you will find that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the waste places in your fields, and tun your factories."

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.

For their time, which do you think makes a better argument about how to advanc black civil rights in this era in American history? Why? Be sure to tie your opinion to evidence.

Even people with similar goals don't always see the same path to getting there. Post at least one point they agree on OR one point they disagree on and evidence to support it.
