Washington, Du Bois, and the NAACP
Captions available
The idea
Booker T. Washington's Atlanta Compromise of eighteen ninety-five urged hard work and accommodation to earn White goodwill. W. E. B. Du Bois's Niagara Movement demanded immediate political, social and economic equality.
In practice
The NAACP, founded in nineteen oh nine by an interracial coalition including Du Bois.
Where people slip
The exam pairs the two as strategies: accommodation against immediate equality.
