Who was booker t. washington, and how did his view differ from w. e.b. dubois?

Booker T. Washington was an educator and a professor and his views were different from Dubois because he believed that African-Americans should emancipate themselves and become respected members of the society based on what was perceived as the correct way of living which was the way white people lived. Dubois believed that African-Americans should not become Americanized and should stick to their culture and their beliefs and that they should fight for cultural equality, not just political one.
