I believe that Washington has a better way of advancing African Americans in the American society. He goes about it by stating how loyal they proved to be to the whites so many years ago, and reminding them that they are still the same way, they just need a chance to prove that. So he asks for them to "cast down your bucket" and share the fortunes with African Americans. At least give African American's a chance at higher education, better jobs, and better living.

I believe they only really agreed on one thing, and that is the plain, simple fact that African Americans deserve some type of spotlight in American society. On page 120, it is said that "the burden belongs to the nation, and the hands of none of us are clean if we bend not our energies to righting these wrongs." So, Washington and DuBois both want things set straight for African Americans, they just have very different ways of going about it.

4. I believe that for their time Washington mad the better argument. Washington throughout the whole article gave many valid reasons why the blacks would be an advantage and a positive advancement to society. Like I mentioned in my first post Washington did a great job at mentioning how loyal the blacks have been and that we should return the favor. If society would help them, they will give help in return.

I believe that DuBois was not a part of the Progressive Movement. The whole article pretty much stated how everything Washington tried to go after and do for African Americans was completely wrong and that Washington was asking African Americans to give up a good chunk of their lives just so that the whites would give them a chance. To me, it seemed that DuBois was saying, instead of asking for a chance, just take one and hope everything goes over well, and then just keep pushing your luck.

3. For the most part it didn't seem as if they agreed on much. Washington wanted to gain equality for the blacks in society, whereas DuBois thought that it was unnecessary. DuBois did not seem to be a fan of Washington and on pg 120 in the second paragraph he even talks about how Washington did things poorly.

Personally, I believe that Booker T. Washington was a part of the Progressive Movement. He was a huge part for the advancement of African Americans in the United States. In the "Atlanta Exposition Address," Washington repeats the words "Cast down your bucket." To me, I can take this in two ways. Washington is asking for the whites to give African Americans a chance in whatever it may be, agriculture, mechanics, and other professions. The other way I take this, but Washington didn't specifically say, is that African Americans, for the past however many years, "casted down their buckets" to the whites in their time of need. African Americans worked on the white people's farms, took care of their children, helped the sick and elderly, and cooked for the families. I believe he didn't outright say that because he didn't want to make it a "we did it for you, so you have to do it for us." Because that could possibly ruin

2. DuBois
I would definitely agree with Marsci and would say that DuBois is not progressive, I dont think he had a proactive approach.  The whole article was about how he didn't agree with Washington and almost made me feel like he thought everything Washington did was stupid. He even referred to those that agreed with him as Mr. Washington's cult on pg 117.  It did not seem as if DuBois wanted to gain any outcomes with the blacks in society

1. Progressive
I do believe based on the definition that was part of the Progressive movement. Other than mentioning him as Progressive in the lecture after reading 21-5 it really made it clear. In the article he talks about what his people did for the whites and what they would do to contribute to society. He said, "sixteen million hands will aid you in pulling the load upward, or they will pull against you the load downward." If society is willing to guide his people to a better life then they will help society, which could be much needed.

4.  I would say Washington absolutely made a better argument and took a completely positive approach. He made simple requests for equallty Without demeaning  or faulting the white race. He simply stated that blacks could positively contribute to society and would forever be grateful.

3.  The basic agreement between the two would be that blacks have been wrong throughout history and should gain some social equality. The means of which it is gained they completely differ .

2. Not Progressive-DuBois

I did not feel this document was part of a proactive approach. Due to the fact the document completely badgered  any attempts Washington made to gain positive advancements in society among blacks. The only pro active  statement throughout the document would be on page 120 stating " When in fact the burden belongs to the nation and the hands of none of us are clean if we bend not our energies to writing these great wrongs ". For the most part he was very negative in my opinion.

1. Progressive-B.T Washington

Yes his actions were part of the progressive movement. This was clear on page 115-116he explains how his people "Cast down" there services without hesitation such as raising their children, building rail roads, and tilled fields. He simply explains his position for social equality I exchange for gratitude and a continuous positive contribution in society on behalf of his people

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.

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.

Based on the definition of progressivism explained in Lecture I and American Yawp, offer at least one piece of evidence from 21-5 "The Atlanta Exposition" that shows how Washington is or isn't part of the Progressive movement

Based on the definition of progressivism explained in Lecture I and American Yawp, offer at least one piece of evidence from 21-6 "Booker T. Washington & Others" that shows how DuBois is or isn't part of the Progressive movement

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.
