WEB DuBois was a part of the progressive movement. It may seem like he wasn't a part of the movement because of him disagreeing with Washington, but he had a different approach.
Such men feel in conscience bound to ask of this nation three things:
1. The right to vote. 2. Civicequality. 3. The education of youth according to ability.

"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."
This sentence really stood out from The Atlanta Exposition that shows that he is a part of the Progressive movement.

Argument
I believe that Booker T Washington had a better argument, because he wanted to end racism and come together with other races.

I believe that Dubois was right. He believes that African Americans need to fight for their right and they shouldn't have to wait for freedom because its a part of the constitution which he has a point.

Agree/Disagree
They disagree on the fact that we should all come together and teach each other. They agreed black people deserved equality

I believe DuBois was the most right. Obviously the personal responsibility argument (while valid) doesn't recognize that people aren't starting on an even ground of wealth distribution. It'd only been a couple family generations since slavery, there isn't enough time for even the most ambitious households to accumulate and pass on prosperity to youth.

W.E.B DuBois
DuBois didn't play a progressive part, because he wanted African Americans to accept discrimination. He didnt expect more out of African Americans he believed that they shouldnt try to learn if they didnt already know it and this is why I believe he didnt play a progressive part .

Washington and DuBois both agreed on the advancement of equality for blacks, but there approaches reflect conservative party beliefs and socialist beliefs. DuBois helped found the NAACP and fought for systematic change. Washington focused on religion and personal responsibility.

Both Washington and DuBois agreed that African Americans should be treated equally. Booker T Washington urged African Americans to accept discrimination and to concentrate on better themselves by hard work. He believed that this would earn respect from white people and African Americans would be accepted.  DuBois disagreed with that, he believed that his strategy would continue white oppression.

W.E.B. DuBois was also a key player in the progressive movement. From the primary source he spoke mainly in critique of Washington's beliefs calling them a triple paradox. The ambitions held by Washington were said to be noble, at least, but the motivations and solutions misguided or simply not progressive enough.

Booker T Washington was very much a part of the progressive movement. He speaks about always being patient while solving the problem god has laid at the south, and how upon it's absolution there will be a new heaven on earth. Moral justification is a noted feature of the progressive movement.

Booker T Washington
In document 21-5, he talks about bringing together all races, so that we can learn from each other and improve skills such as labor, communication, and other professions. Which makes him a big part of the progressive movement.

In my honest opinion, neither were truly "right or wrong", they just had extremely different approaches to such a problem with progression. Both played roles in progression of the African American race and the US as a whole. Washington helped to wake people up and realize their role as a part of society, while Du Bois showed what should absolutely come along with those hard working roles. If I had to pick, I would have definitely picked Du Bois' opinion over Washington's.

I really liked Du Bois' point of view here, he seems to think right up my alley, and that is "Such men feel in conscience bound to ask this nation three things 1. The right to vote 2. Civic equality and 3. The education of youth according to ability" He knows for a fact that the only way to move forward is for equal opportunity and overall equality to be of the utmost importance. Without this, nobody can go anywhere, and people will continue to stay stuck in the darker parts of society. In my opinion, Du Bois was extremely ahead of his time, but was absolutely progressive in this sense. Perhaps it was the opinions of others that made this difficult to achieve for the next ~70 years. I love the fact that Garrett also made it a point to include these things, as I believe they are one of the most important parts of this document.

# data[].attributes.body
Both seemed to agree that progression of the African American race was of the utmost importance. In an example, Washington believed that "No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized." and so hard work and dedication seemed to be his driving force. Du Bois seemed to believe that the only way to achieve this, however, was with "Political power...insistence on civil rights...higher education of Negro youth,--" in this bit, Du Bois is making reference to Washington stating that for the time being; African Americans must give up these things for now, and simply submit. In this I believe they had extremely different opinions.

In my first impression of Booker T Washington's Atlanta Exposition Address, I would've said that he was progressive towards society as a whole. However, after doing a bit of reading, I found myself extremely confused at what he was trying to accomplish. He says at one point, "Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom we may overlook the fact that the masses of us are to live by the productions of our hands, and fail to keep in mind that we shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labour..." This to me sounded a bit like he was trying to suggest that labor and doing what one is told to do are more important than obtaining certain rights. Now, I am not saying he didn't suggest that education and rights were also a key factor in this, but he did seem to emphasize work over education. All in all, I'd say he was only 50% there, so yes, he was trying to be progressive, but could have worded things differently. Mainly, he seems to use a lot of twisty dialogue to cause the common folk (even me, to this day!) to side with him, not really understanding where he was coming from at first. Hard work is important, but it does not mean you should just bow down to whatever you are told to do! Get and education while you work your buns off :D.

While I believe both men were right in what they were fighting for, I believe that W.E.B Dubois might've had a slightly more effective way of spreading equality. In document 21-6 he specifically talks about what African Americans want, and what they deserve. He keeps it straight forward and lets everybody know that they deserve the right to vote, and civic equality.

# data[].attributes.body
Booker T Washington and W.E.B Dubois may not agree on everything, but they do have a lot of similar views on their country. One of their biggest similarities is the main thing that they have fought for. They speak out to spread awareness to their fellow African Americans, but also to all whites who were living here. They both paved the way for equality and were part of the biggest progressive era in American history.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe W.E.B Dubois was also a big part of the progressive movement. He spoke out against Washingtons ideas and shed light to many African Americans. Dubois was a man who demanded respect and equality and would stop at nothing to get to that point. In document 21-6 Dubois talked about three things specifically that black men all wanted, 1. The right to vote, 2. Civic equality, and 3. The education of youth according to ability

I believe Booker T Washington was a big part of the progressive movement. In document 21-5, he talks a lot about how bringing together every race could unite our country and improve it in all different aspects. He says "cast down your bucket where you are" implying to let people of all genders and races into your life.

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.
