Read the excerpt from Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington. While we take pride in what we exhibit as a result of our independent efforts, we do not for a moment forget that our part in this exhibition would fall far short of your expectations but for the constant help that has come to our education life, not only from the Southern states, but especially from Northern philanthropists. Read the excerpt from The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois. First, it is the duty of black men to judge the South discriminatingly. The present generation of Southerners are not responsible for the past, and they should not be blindly hated or blamed for it. Furthermore, to no class is the indiscriminate endorsement of the recent course of the South toward Negroes more nauseating than to the best thought of the South. What evidence do the two texts have in common? They both excuse the wrongdoing of the South. They both focus on individual efforts. They both point out that the South has not been solely oppressive. They both see the South as exhibiting a history of oppression.
