Dr. John H. Clarke on the Booker T. Washington Era
In college we would cover the Great Debate between DuBois and Washington. We would take a long time debating who was right and who had the better the solution. I would think DuBois was right and then i would think later on maybe Washington was right. But I never really got into the Age that both of them lived in. Why did white folks side with Washington? Was he really an Uncle Tom? Was the Atlanta Compromise really a compromise? Did he have a secret agenda? I would ask these questions to myself over and over again. So, I'm glad my mentor Dr. John Henrik Clarke discusses this and much more. Enjoy. (sidenote: I like how he explains the relationship of DuBois and Washington. DuBois and Washington, difference in opinions, DuBois and Garvey, now that's a fight and my money is on Garvey to win lol.)
