Booker T. Washington & W.E.B. DuBoisCompare and Contrast their backgrounds and views on
education for blacks:Pg. 284-285
Booker T. Washington
• Racism will end when blacks get useful labor skills and prove economic value to society
• Started Tuskegee Institute for blacks
• Get skills in agricultural, domestic, or mechanical work
• Gradual approach, prove skill/worth
W.E.B. DuBois
• No gradual approach
• Niagara Movement
• Blacks should seek liberal arts education so they can have well-educated leaders
• Immediate inclusion in mainstream life
• Equality of ALL men
• Immediate approach, same opportunities as whites
BOTH: very well educated, want equality for blacks, created institutions or groups to help blacks get better opportunities/education

a citizen or resident of a particular country or community
Vocabulary: Define
• Poll tax:
• Literacy test:
• Grandfather clause:
• Segregation:
• Jim Crow laws:
Pg. 287
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)• Facts:
– 1890 Louisiana Separate Car Act (separate accommodations for whites/blacks)– Homer Plessy (1/8 black) tests law by violating it– Arrested, found guilty– Appeals to Supreme Court
• Constitutional issue:– Does law of “equal but separate” violate 13th and 14th Amendment rights? – Remember Reconstruction Amendments: 13 = FREE, 14 = CITIZENS, 15 = VOTE
• Decision:– 7-1 against Plessy– LA law did not violate 13th or 14th
• He still has equal access – it is just separate
• Effects:– Short term: allows segregation laws (Jim Crow) under “separate but equal”– Long term: public facilities segregated for over 50 years
Race Relations
• Racial etiquette: informal rules on black and white interactions or relationships
– Belittled (humiliated) blacks, treated as 2nd class citizens
• EXAMPLES:
– Never shook hands
– Had to move off the sidewalk to let whites pass
– Remove your hat out of respect to whites
• Severe punishments or even death if violated rules

Discrimination OUTSIDE of the South
• West: non-whites (Natives, Asians, Mexicans, Blacks)
