Answer 1

Answer: none of the choices are correct

Explanation: Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in 1856, and W.E.B. DuBois was born into a free black family.

Booker T. Washington believed what African Americans/ Black Americans needed was economic independence, the ability to show prove themselves as productive members of the American society whichh he believed would help acheve true equality and not civil rights.

W.E.B. DuBois believed Education and Civil rights alone could liberate African Americans.

This difference in ideologies lead to clash of both men who play great roles in the history of Black Americans or African Americans in the United States.
