Quizplus · Accepted Answer

W. E. B. Du Bois believed that the "Talented Tenth" of the African American population should be given higher education to lead the race to a broader, more equal society. This contrasts with Booker T. Washington's approach, which focused more on vocational training and accepting segregation for economic gains. Du Bois did not support Washington's views (A), did not advocate revolutionary tactics in the sense of violent revolution (B), was not universally popular due to his critiques of racism and his later socialist leanings (C), and was not the author of the Atlanta Compromise; that was Booker T. Washington (E).
