In the 20 years between 1895 and 1915, two key leaders-Booker T.
Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois-shaped the struggle for African
American rights. This book examines the impact of their fierce
debate on America's response to Jim Crow and positions on civil
rights throughout the 20th century-and evaluates the legacies of
these two individuals even today. The debate between W.E.B. Du Bois
and Booker T. Washington on how to further social and economic
progress for African Americans lasted 20 years, from 1895 to
Washington's death in 1915. Their ongoing conversation evolved over
time, becoming fiercer and more personal as the years progressed.
But despite its complexities and steadily accumulating bitterness,
it was still, at its heart, a conversation-an impassioned contest
at the turn of the century to capture the souls of black folk. This
book focuses on the conversation between Washington and Du Bois in
order to fully examine its contours. It serves as both a document
reader and an authored text that enables readers to perceive how
the back and forth between these two individuals produced a
cacophony of ideas that made it anything but a bipolar debate, even
though their expressed differences would ultimately shape the two
dominant strains of activist strategy. The numerous chapters on
specific topics and historical events follow a preface that
presents an overview of both the conflict and its historiographical
treatment; evaluates the legacies of both Washington and Du Bois,
emphasizing the trajectories of their theories beyond 1915; and
provides an explanation of the unique structure of the work. Offers
a fresh exploration of the fascinating conversations and
controversies between two of the most important African American
leaders in history Provides an in-depth exploration of these two
important leaders' perspectives and views on America's response to
Jim Crow and civil rights that leads to significant new conclusions
about historical information Presents the words of DuBois,
Washington, and their allies as a conversation that enables readers
to better understand the big-picture story of these two scholars
