Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Atlanta Compromise was a speech given by Booker T. Washington in 1895 advocating for economic advancement rather than immediate political and social equality for Black Americans. While it was supported by some Black leaders and organizations, it was also heavily criticized by others, including W.E.B. Du Bois who saw it as accepting the status quo of Jim Crow segregation. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that almost every Black civil rights activist supported the Atlanta Compromise.
