They both had their own ideas on how to gain rights for the African Americans.

                     The other person who worked for the rights of  African Americans was W.E.B DuBois. Dubois formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP). This group helps to build efforts of legal and economic equality for African Americans. DuBois ran for important positions to continue his progress. He would do what he could to keep the African Americans protected but he had different approaches from Washington.
