differ on they differ? Du Bois helped to form the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1910.
Booker T. Washington and Education for Black People
The South lagged far behind other regions in public education. African-Americans suffered
the most.
The leading champion of black education was ex-slave Booker T. Washington. He taught in
1881 at the black normal and industrial school at Tuskegee, Alabama. His self-help
approach to solving the nation's racial problems was labeled "accommodationist" because it
did not directly challenge white supremacy. Washington avoided the issue of social equality,
focusing on economic equality.
Black leaders, including Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, attacked Booker T. Washington because
Washington condemned the black race to manual labor and perpetual inferiority.
2. How did the education of blacks and education in general change after the
Civil War?
Female and black colleges arose after the Civil War.
The Morrill Act of 1862 granted public lands to the states to support education. Land-grant
colleges formed out of these grants.
The Hatch Act of 1887 extended the Morrill Act and provided federal funds for the
establishment of agricultural experiment stations in connection with the land-grant colleges.
Millionaires and tycoons donated generously to the educational system.
Johns Hopkins University, founded in 1876, had the nation's first high-grade graduate
school.
