Thoughts and Analysis of Booker T. Washington vs. W.E.B Du Bois
To the doubt of few, the late eighteenth and early twentieth century has produced two of the most influential and prominent African-American political leaders to this day. The very two head figures I speak of are Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Du Bois. The information in which I formulated my thoughts and analysis from are by means of Du Bois self authored “The Souls of Black Folk” and Washington’s autobiography “Up From Slavery”. As we examine both Washington and Du Bois; we will focus on comparing and contrasting the differences of the two political pioneers in regards to their political views.
Let us first look at Booker T. Washington’s technique and style of writing in which he used to spread his ideas. In Washington’s narrative “Up from Slavery” a somewhat stealthy approach (if you will) was applied to reach a wide variety of audience. His cleverness in masking his personal and social agenda behind a brand of unassuming storytelling is one of high praise by the African community.

time this language gained a substantial amount of support by the white community. Many of the supporters were of wealth, who in other cases may never have shown the slightest of interest if not had been for Washington’s craftiness of shielded wrath. As the Norton Anthology “African American Literature” put it ,“Up From Slavery” seemed to have been overall, drained of personal emotion or even self-reference (488). With that statement, Washington’s style left a lasting impression on his white readers as; that of an almost saintly self-forgetfulness balanced by a businesslike worldliness in the art of getting things done (489).
Let us now look at the writing style of W.E.B Du Bois. Although Du Bois was greatly educated as a scholar and his manner of writing was often of professorial, he often repeatedly turned to traditional literary forms, such as poetry, fiction, and also introspective prose when impelled by the need to express his most deeply felt emotion. Unlike Booker T., Du Bois had no incentive to shield a hidden agenda, for there was none! Where Booker T. preached temporary assimilation only with black nationalism being the underlined cause, Du Bois simply preached assimilation. Granted both Washington and Du Bois saw the imperatives in receiving an education for economical equality, Du Bois however failed to see the importance and benefits in the education of manual labor or gift of trade. Du Bois did not want separation, he felt that it was more beneficial for our people to sincerely befriend the whites and learn in the best of their institution and adopt their way of doing things. He felt that if his people were “properly trained” (as to speak of the Talented Ten
