I believe that DuBois made a better case in the fact that he pushed for equal rights and higher education for the African American People.

DuBois and Washington although believed in some of the same things, education was not one of them. DuBois being a progressive would never fully agree with Booker in the since he was working the civil rights moment for policies were as Washington went about the  movement as a racial thing.

Booker was indeed a progressive. He believed in change and believed that within the fight it would change the government. He wanted the government to be a bigger part of society. He led for the American American people and was a firm believer in education and values for all

Although they both agreed on many things just as equality for African Americans. Washington did not promote higher education like Du Bois did. Washington believed that common education was excepted but nothing further.

EVen though Booker had many great points, I do honestly believe that Du Bois was right. Du Bois wasn't going to give up their rights, education, or self worth to change anything. He believed that they can get this power without taking anything away from themselves.

Du Bois and Booker both agreed on that the blacks were not treated fairly and equal. They disagreed on how they wanted to give the blacks their power and what they had to give up, Booker wanted them to give up the rights, and education.

In my opinion, I think DuBois made a better case, even though I believe both of them make good, educated points. Being aggressive is how things get done. Being passive about how things are when you are not satisfied does not make things happen.

They both agreed that they wanted equality for African Americans. DuBois argued that something should be done right away to give African Americans that equality, where Washington believed essentially to be patient and things would happen eventually for African American rights.

DuBois also was a progressive, he just did not agree with Booker T. Washington completely. He worked with civil right movements to change policies.

Booker T. Washington was definitely a progressive. He was a leading spokesperson for black Americans. His Atlanta Compromise speech spoke about how white people and black people should come together for a "mutual progress", which to me he was looking for a better America.

Du Bois didn't agree with Booker's ways of his racial ideas. Du Bois leaned more towards changing the civil rights policies.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, Booker T. Washington was progressive. He fought against racism for the blacks. He wanted change, social reform.

W.E.B. Du Bois makes a stronger argument for black's civil rights at the time. He pushes for black's to have the same rights as whites. He wants equality in schooling opportunities, and advancement in education. He wants to give black's the right to vote. He makes a stronger case for African American's who want to further themselves with education and prosperity.

Du Bois agrees that the "Atlanta Compromise" was one of Washington's greatest accomplishments.
They also disagreed on a lot. Du Bois promoted higher education and Washington did not. He promoted common education and no further.

Du Bois attacked the way Booker Washington went about racial accommodation. This was probably because Du Bois was for higher education and Washington was not. Du Bois points out a lot of things that he does not like about Washington, he points out that he has a cult like following that doesn't ask questions, gaining him notoriety(Reading American Past 117)

Booker T Washington was a progressive. He thought that by changing the focus of what they were fighting for would give government the opportunity to change. He wanted the government to take some action, progressives believed the government should have a larger part in society.

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.
