Answer:

Booker T. Washington

- Persuaded a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity, and accommodation

- Urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrated on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity.

W.E.B. DuBois advocated political action and a civil rights agenda. (He help found the NAACP.)

- Argued that social change could be accomplished by developing the small group of college-educated black he called " the Talented tenth"

- Hi philosophy of agitation and protest for civil rights flowed directly into the Civil Rights movement which began to develop in the 1950s and exploded in the 1960s

Step-by-step explanation:

People are still fighting for their Civil Rights and the government is still trying to hold up the right to vote.

- Success sometimes comes from tremendous effort.

- Both philosophers wanted the same rights

As long as the protest is peaceful, I associate with that idea.
