Booker T. Washington - correct answer ✔was born a slave in Virginia in
1856. Washington and his family worked in the salt and coal mines of West

, Virginia after the Civil War. Ambitious and flushed with the postwar
enthusiasm for advancement that gripped freedmen, he worked his way
through Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, the premier black
educational institution in the South at the time. In 1881, he founded the
Tuskegee Institute for black students in rural Alabama. By learning industrial
skills, Washington maintained, black people could secure self-respect and
economic independence. Tuskegee emphasized vocational skills training over
the liberal arts. At an Atlanta exposition in 1895, Washington argued that
African Americans should accommodate themselves to segregation and lack
of voting rights until they could prove their economic worth to American
society. In exchange, white people should help provide black people with the
education and job training they would need to gain their independence. This
position was known as the Atlanta Compromise. Despite his conciliatory
public stance, Washington secretly helped finance legal challenges to
segregation and disfranchisement.

the 20th century, attracting substantial support from whites in both North and
South (particularly from white women). Its goal was a federal anti-lynching
law, which would allow the federal government to do what state and local
governments in the South were generally unwilling to do: punish those
responsible for lynchings. But substantial white opposition in the South stood
as an exception to the general white support for suppression of African
Americans. the federal government never passed any anti-lynching laws.


W.E.B. Du Bois - correct answer ✔W.E.B. DuBois, unlike Washington, had
never known slavery. Born in Massachusetts, educated at Fisk University in
Nashville and at Harvard, he grew to adulthood with a more expansive view
than Washington of the goals of his race and the responsibilities of white
society to eliminate prejudice and injustice. DuBois launched an open attack
