In the 1920s, African American leaders exhibited diverse approaches to political action. Figures like W.E.B. Du Bois advocated for civil rights and integration through activism and intellectual engagement, emphasizing the need for higher education and leadership among the Black elite. In contrast, Marcus Garvey promoted Black nationalism and self-determination, encouraging economic independence and a return to Africa. These differing strategies reflected broader tensions within the African American community regarding the best path to achieve equality and empowerment.
