“They should have listened more to Booker T. Washington than to W.E.B. Dubois.”
Washington had it right.
Start a business, work hard, educate your children and be successful then the white men will deal with you on and equal footing.
I understand he had a group of white businessmen who financed small black owned businesses.
A tragedy that Washington died at age 59 but DuBois hung around until age 95.

Agreed...it is a shame Dubois outlived him by that much, but...what can you say. God chooses.
