The cause that W.E.B. Du Bois worked for very hard for was for African Americans to have equal rights no matter what. In order for him to do that he founded the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). W.E.B. DuBois formed it so that all colored people would be able to gain equality both legal and economic. W.E.B. DuBois' perspective on how to achieve his goal was that he would get a group of African Americans as a response to the Jim Crow Laws. it was telling the creators of the Jim crow Laws and the members of the Ku Klux Klan that we are not just going to sit back and let you take over no we're going to fight and fight better than we've ever fought before! The only difference between both Du Bois and Washington was that one wanted to show that African Americans should have equal rights through their knowledge (Booker T.) and the other wanted to prove African Americans are better through their knowledge as well but not only ordinary rights as a citizen, he wanted African Americans to have rights both legal, economic and citizen required.
The cause that Booker T. Washington was worked for was to provide equality for African Americans through knowledge. He used that way so that all people who prejudice other colored people will see that they should stop and that colored people's knowledge are just as top notch as yours are. To prove this to those of an offensive nature Booker T. Washington founded the Tuskegee Institute. This school is now referred to the Tuskegee University and it resides in Alabama. In the mid-1900s the Tuskegee Institute was just a school for black children but over the years it became a college and its main purpose was just for equality to be spread throughout the nations. it could've been through kindness, meekness, humbleness, forgiveness but a better way was to show Caucasian Americans that African Americans shouldn't be treated any different because their level of knowledge if not higher is just as good as yours basically.
