Answer: to form the NAACP

Explanation: They didn’t agree with Booker T. Washington ideals of not using violence and force to make the African American citizen voice known. (Washington’s idea was that they should become educated as much as possible and get jobs so that they could be associated with civilization as educated hard workers.)
