Washington as a civil rights advocate but not about his specific philosophies. Interestingly, he came back on my radar screen last year when I went back to college and was studying for the American History CLEP exams. I learned then that he and W.E.B. DuBois (co-founder of the NAACP) were famously opposed to one another, DuBois being of the victimhood mindset (my interpretation, not the official one) and blasting Washington at every turn for not being demanding enough. Of course, the study materials I used didn't contain the quote above, and I want to thank you for sharing it. It confirms my suspicions about the true nature of the rift between Washington and DuBois. In public schools in the mid 70s through the early 80s, I remember learning about Booker T.

We were never taught that in school ... and my elementary schooling was decades ago. I wonder whether today's kids are even taught anything at all about Booker T. Washington. Good night!
