Booker T Washington and W.E.B Debuis were arguing on strategies for black social and economic progress. W.E.B wanted them to either develop a new skill or go to school. While Booker T wanted all African Americans to be set free from the caucasian race and do whatever it is that they desire. Booker T and W.E.B Debuis had a very strong argument but they both wanted their own plans to happen instead of their opponents plans. Booker T made a plan that some how he would be able to give all African Americans liberty(freedom) so that way they can be very happy with the lives that they can start their own way.
W.E.B Debuis wanted all African Americans to either develop a new skill or go to school. Even if what W.E.B wanted came true, the African Americans would have no choice but to do what he says. Their opposing philosophies can be found in much of today's discussions over how to end class and racial injustice, what is the role of black leadership, and what do the 'haves' owe the 'have-nots' in the black community.
