Why did w. e.b. du bois criticize booker t. washington?
he criticized washington’s passive and cautious ways.
he criticized washington’s aggressive and violent methods.
he criticized washington’s wavering and changing views.
he criticized washington’s extreme campaigns that involved hunger strikes.
he criticized washington’s radical methods that refused segregation of races.

The first answer! Washington did NOT radically refuse segregation and was passive, not aggressive or extremist. He wanted the educate the black people so that they could earn an important place in the society by learning useful specialized tasks, while Du Bois believed that the Talented Tenth, a group of Ivy League super smart black people, would be the ones who gave their people a better shot at an equal place in society. (He himself was from the Ivies, so there was a bit of a bias.) Washington was known for establishing a successful all-black university.
