Dubois Argument Summary
In DuBois’s argument, he states that he considers Booker T. Washington’s approach “the most striking thing in the history of the American Negro since 1876.” He argues that even though Washington did not come up with the first industrial school, he was, however, the first to team up with a school that focuses on trades with the best southerners. DuBois goes on to state Washington is not responsible for the policy of submission for African Americans, even though he was partially a promotion of it, and was in some part a result of disenfranchisement of the Negro. Dubois also discusses that some black Americans were not happy with Booker T. and they did not agree with what he did. I for one, think that is foolish considering he was the only one to take charge and fight for what is right. DuBois also discusses how black men can argue against Washington within reason even though he was an important leader in the black movement and he recommends only praising the good that came with Washington’s ideas and only keeping in mind your opinions on his address. Dubois himself had his own problems with what Booker T. Washington was trying to say in his address. Dubois didn’t like the fact that Washington was trying to promote a policy of submission for asking them to give up fundamental privileges. Du Bois explains to the people that this policy has effected African Americans in negative ways by contributing to the loss of the vote, the loss of the whole idea of being a citizen, and the loss of aid towards education system. I for one am with Dubois on this one because if this was me during this time, I would not want to have that feeling of demoralization in stooping to the level where you would actually be a lesser person to the whites. I would feel like I had to give up something in order to make peace and to me that is inhumane.
When it comes to being a citizen, DuBois doesn’t even like to believe that he was once a slave. Just the thought
