Using what we have learned, briefly discuss the background of Washington and DuBois. Where did they come from? What did they do?
Based on the primary source selection, what was Washingtons plan for improving conditions for blacks? What was DuBoiss?
What did these plans have in common? How were they different? Were they compatible? Why or why not?
Why was DuBois so critical of Washington? Were the criticisms valid? Why or why not?
