Booker founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and also served as the principal. He believed in social Darwinism, and that the best equipped people would survive and felt that blacks would have to start at the bottom and gradually work their way up. The school focused on specific trades that would help blacks gain economic equality. These trades include farming, carpentry and teaching. Booker supposed that the best form of education was a vocational one, which would be more practical, and this is why he sensed blacks would gain civil and political rights after getting economic equality and showing everyone they are essential to the development of the United States. He felt that handwork would reward all African Americans and appealed to the lower class southern blacks and believed that equality could only come from economics and free market but not through actual legislation. Business was his solution and he even said that he would sacrifice the fifteenth amendment to get unity between blacks and whites because he felt that both races were important and he looked after both of their interests.
W.E.B Du Bois held entirely different views as compared to Booker. W.E.B Du Bois was an educated historian and sociologist who criticized Washington's educational and political practices and beliefs. Du Bois was the founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and believed that African Americans deserved equality and should rise to higher positions in society. His family was the only black family in a white neighborhood, and he was a very intelligent person and was very politically active and felt that Washington focused more on vocational education. Du Bois sensed that the success of Tuskegee would actually limit the idea of true higher education. He also sensed that African American children should have higher education beyond vocational training and felt this was essential to the acceptance of blacks.
