Supporting Racial Uplift

19701
While a student at Harvard, WEB DuBois was a vocal supporter of Booker T. Washington, saying the Atlanta Compromise was sound advice. (It was Du Bois that dubbed Washington's speech as such a few years later) DuBois and Washington agreed on several issues in the 1890s. They both believed Negroes shared part of the the blame for their condition. As a race, hygiene, sanitation, moral standards, and level of learning needed improvement thus they placed emphasis on self-help and moral improvement. To a certain extent, both Washington and Du Bois thought industrial education would help African Americans. They also agreed that all Americans should have voting restrictions based on education and wealth. Most importantly, both believed in racial solidarity and racial economy.
