Document Analysis

In the post- Civil War three constitutional amendments were passed in an effort to establish equality between
blacks and whites. By the turn of the century little had changed for African-Americans in spite of this legislation.
Two African-Americans, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, became the spokesmen for AfricanAmericans on the way to achieve racial equality espousing two radically different approaches to attain equality.

American society.
