Compare And Contrast Booker T. Washington's Speech

Is it possible to fix the relationship between two teams, friend, and races for just a few days? What about convincing a gathering of persons divided and with prejudice and racial discrimination over many years to live and work side by side? It some how seems unreasonable but maybe is it not. Nevertheless, ignoring the traditional notions concerning the taxing relationship between whites and blacks, Booker T. Washington, through The Atlanta Exposition Address from Up from Slavery Chapter 14, notices the importance of mutual progress regardless of the conflicts or challenges the races had before. Booker T. Washington was a prominent educator and the lone founder of Tuskegee National and Industrial Institute. In his speech, Washington makes use of rhetorical devices like repetition and metaphor, pathos and logos to support the collaboration between the white race and the black race to promote the development of the financial success within the South. In this particular speech, he opts to caution his fellow blacks against a feeling of claim to accompany their new attained freedom, while at the same time soothing his audience of whites that the eradication of oppression and servitude is nothing to be worried about, since the whites and blacks have similar mutual objectives in pursuing the renaissance of the South.

Washington truly was an incredible man. He was not put down by the difficulties he encountered but instead rose to the occasion. He was someone who worked hard for everything he had despite trials and tribulation. His speeches and testaments for equality, such as “The Atlanta Compromise,” highlighted the need and importance for cooperation and lasting friendship between the African American and Southern white races. These ideals would improve, and later help resolve, America’s racial issues like segregation. In conclusion, Booker T. Washington's “Atlanta Compromise” speech is one of the most important speeches in American History when it came to creating opportunity for equality between African American and Southern white

Booker T Washington was one of the best advocates in his time. Growing up in slavery and out coming the horrifying struggles of the 1870’s was a great effort. Born in the era were black people were like flies he found a determination to succeed and discovered many powers in life.

W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington were two very influential leaders in the black community during the late 19th century, early 20th century. However, they both had different views on improvement of social and economic standing for blacks. Booker T. Washington, an ex-slave, put into practice his educational ideas at Tuskegee, which opened in 1881. Washington stressed patience, manual training, and hard work. He believed that blacks should go to school, learn skills, and work their way up the ladder. Washington also urged blacks to accept racial discrimination for the time being, and once they worked their way up, they would gain the respect of whites and be fully accepted as citizens. W.E.B. Du Bois on the other hand, wanted a more

Booker T. Washington’s philosophy and actions betrayed the interests of African Americans because he was more interested on the blacks getting educated and getting the respect of the white authorities, instead of worrying on getting their political and social equality right away, which was the main interest of the African Americans. In “The Atlanta Exposition Address”, Washington said that blacks would sacrifice their civil rights and social equality for the time being, as long as whites guaranteed that they would receive industrial education and jobs because he believed that in order to fully obtain equality, the blacks should improve themselves. “It is at the bottom of

The struggle for equality and the battle to have one’s suppressed voice be heard is prevalent throughout the history of the United States. The Native Americans, women, and even Catholics have all encountered discrimination and belittlement in one shape or form, which eventually urged individuals within those groups to rise up and demand equal opportunity. As the United States began to shift away from slavery, one of the most deep rooted, controversial dilemmas aroused- what do black people need to do in order to gain civil rights both economically and socially? Booker T. Washington’s “Atlanta Exposition Address” and W.E.B. Du Bois's “The Soul of Black Folks” were pieces of writings influenced by the puzzle that black people were left to solve. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Du Bois had contrasting ideas, but they both contributed a piece to the puzzle in hopes of solving the never ending mind game.

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were two different people with completely different beliefs. To start off, Booker T. Washington was a black educator in the late 19th century and early 20th century. He was born a slave, but around the age of 9, union soldiers arrived at their plantation and told him and his family they were free. He also believed that “directly fighting for equality would only lead to more anti-black violence (such as lynching)” and also wanted to accept discrimination temporarily. W.E.B. DuBois was very different from Booker T. Washington. He was the first african american to earn a Ph D from harvard. He was best known for being a African-American rights spokesperson. He had opposing thoughts from Booker T. Washington. He believed that color discrimination is unacceptable and that black boys needed education as well as white boys. These two men’s thoughts made them drastically different from each other.

Booker T. Washington was known as the premier of black activist. His theory for the African American progression or “racial uplift” was that African American’s would remain without objections and silence themselves regarding the issues of disenfranchisement and social segregation if whites supported the black progression in education, economics, and agriculture.

Booker T. Washington was born, into slavery, on April 5th, 1856 in Hale’s Ford, Virginia. He was nine years old when his family was emancipated, and they moved to West Virginia. It wasn’t until after he moved that he began to receive an education. He eventually graduated from the Hampton Institute; he worked through the time he was in school in order to pay for his education. He went on to later become the leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama – a position he held until the day he died. He made huge contributions in the African-American community, and was one of their strongest leaders in the fight for their rights. He advocated strongly for the right to education and for social issues.

Two great leaders in the late 19th and 20th century of the black community were W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Even after of slavery, African Americans fought for their equal rights and opportunities. During the time of unfair treatments, few people found the courage to speak out on their beliefs for a change. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois regularly coherent their opinions and stand for what they believe is right. However, they sharply disagreed on strategies for black social and economic progress. Their opposing personality, philosophies, and legacy can be found in much of today 's discussions over how to end class and racial injustice.

What do you want right now? Most people would say money, food, phone etc. Something that requires work and money to get. But what if you wanted something that doesn’t cost any money? Like love, freedom, and family. It takes effort to earn those. The effort you put in though, do you fight for it or wait for it to come? Booker T washington was the waiting person. He was a african american that spoke for black people and wished for more rights. W.E.B Du Bois was another african american that has wished for more rights, but was a strong fighter. Both Booker T and W.E.B wanted the same thing, but went to get in two completely different ways but they both provided the way we see black people now.

Booker T. Washington was one of the most well-known African American educators of all time. Lessons from his life recordings and novelistic writings are still being talked and learned about today. His ideas of the accommodation of the Negro people and the instillation of a good work ethic into every student are opposed, though, by some well-known critics of both past and current times. They state their cases by claiming the Negro’s should not have stayed quiet and worked their way to wear they did, they should have demanded equal treatment from the southern whites and claimed what was previously promised to them. Also, they state that Washington did not really care about equality or respect, but about a status boost in his own life. Both

Both Booker T. Washington, in his 1895 Atlanta Compromise Speech, and W.E.B DuBois, in his Niagara Movement speech, establish the need for equality amongst all races through religious references and explaining how African Americans are willing to work for their rights, however, Washington explains the result of change happening, and DuBois unfolds the consequences of the lack of change, in terms of social and economical equality among African Americans in America. The Declaration of Independence, a founding document of America, states all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. By giving each individual the right of equality, everyone has the opportunity to perform to their highest potential. Not only does it benefit the United States’ economy, it also gives all Americans their unalienable rights listed in the Declaration of Independence. In the end, a society cannot function unless all men and women are given the potential to succeed.
