- Description:
- This lesson fits within the Progressive Era of late 19th and early 20th century and focuses on two of the most prominent black spokesmen and civil rights activists of the time, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B B. Du Bois. Starting with a personal letter from the Alabama Archives that Washington wrote in 904, students will analyze other brief writings by both men. Students will compare and contrast the two men’s different approaches to the question of how blacks living in the late 19th and early 20th centuries could best achieve racial progress, and also identify the benefits and drawbacks to each man’s overall strategy.
