Yesterday in class there was an assembly. Therefore, we only had ten minutes of class. Today in class, we learned about Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. Washington was a former slave that believed that African Americans would have to earn the right to be equal. He believed that there should not be equal education or voting rights and that African Americans should go to trade school and earn their equality by hard work and then respect. DuBois was a rich freemen that graduated from Harvard. He believed that African Americans and whites should be equal before the law in all aspects. They should have equal education, voting rights, and there should be African Americans in power.
