Answer:

Option C. W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington both worked their whole lives for civil rights, but they didn't gree on many things. Washington believed equal rights could wait as long as blacks got good jobs; Dubois insisted that blacks be given full legal equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington were two of the most famous leaders of the black community during the late 19th Century. Although they respected each other's work for the community, they both held different view-points in some of the methods and theories they had for black prosperity and equal rights. Washington believed that the only way for African Americans to gain an equal status than the one that Whites had, was through hard work and "racial uplift" that needed to come from within the community. He believed that through education, hard work and perseverance the black community was going to get a better place within the American society. Dubois on his side, agreed with Washington on the concept of self-improvement, but thought that black communities had been waited too long for equality, and that before any equal work opportunities, black people deserved to have the right to vote.
