Du Bois believed that seeking legal challenges to civil injustice through white-dominated courts was a necessary and important strategy in the fight for civil rights. He advocated for immediate civil rights for African Americans, and urged talented blacks to aspire to the professions and demand a full university education. He also believed that Booker T. Washington's ideas, which emphasized vocational education and accommodation with white society, were overly limiting to blacks.
