In contrast to Washington, Du Bois maintained that education and civil rights were the only way to equality and that conceding their pursuit would simply serve to reinforce the notion of Black people as second-class citizens.
Du Bois's says that the only way African Americans can gain rights is to fight.
Explanation:
He became the first African America to get a PhD in 1885 from Harvard. He was able to acquire higher education. After completing his education, he became an activist in the early 20th century.
According to him, African Americans can get their freedom by resisting systems of segregation and discrimination.
According to Washington, education is a must that would give them a chance to compete with the white Americans where according to the constitution, everyone is equal in America.
In the passage line from 1-9, Du Bois says that working with the white is not a correct way to fight for their rights as they have to leave all agriculture work, commerce, mechanics, domestic works, etc., and fight for their rights.
Political and social equality should come first before they hope to have a share in the economy.
Therefore we can conclude that Du Bois main goal for fairness is through social Equality.
