Both Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois focused on the advancement and empowerment of African Americans, although their approaches differed. Washington advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance, believing that gradual progress through hard work would lead to social acceptance. In contrast, Du Bois emphasized the importance of higher education and civil rights, arguing that a "Talented Tenth" of the African American community should lead the fight for equality and political representation. Together, they highlighted the need for education and social justice within the African diaspora.
