enforce laws → ○ Elkins Act = illegal to give rebates for using a

T-ChartBooker T. Washington W. E. B. Du Bois

Discussion Questions1. Washington has been a very controversial figure. Some historians say that he was a sell-out who kissed up to white people; others say he was realistic about the situation in the South, and tied to avoid inciting white hostility. What do you think?

Discussion Questions2. What was DuBois’s critique of Washington? Do you think he makes a good point? Why or why not?

Discussion Questions3. Why might some of Washington’s supporters say that DuBois didn’t understand what life was like in the South? Based on what he wrote, do you think DuBois was clueless about what was happening in the South?

Discussion Questions4. Based on these documents, who do you think was a stronger advocate for the rights of African-Americans: Booker T. Washington or W.E.B. Dubois?

Discussion Questions5. Why do you think TR did not focus on Civil Rights like he did in other reform areas? Does this lessen the impact of his “Square Deal?”
