What did they fear? What was some of their work? |
Reconstruction was doomed, however, when the Union peace keepers and law enforcers were withdrawn. Challenges included:
Social:
Family (Harper). Education (Du Bois; Washington). Segregation (Du Bois). Lynching (Wells). Inequality (Turner unaccepting; Washington accepting as an intermediate step). |
Political:
Votes (Turner; Du Bois). Arms (Wells). Return to Africa (Turner). Agitation versus non-agitation (Du Bois versus Washington). |
Political:
Land ownership (Turner). Higher-paying jobs (Du Bois). Boycott (Wells). |
Leader | Profession. | Emphases of strategy. | Criticisms of strategy. |
Du Bois | Academician. | Votes. Agitate. Segregation problem. Higher-paying jobs. | Du Bois leaves out 90% in focus of resources on his "talented tenth". Undemocratic. |
Harper | Family; important role of mother as civilizer and teacher. | ||
Turner | Bishop. | Votes. Equality. Return to Africa (land). | Weakness: Africans have no obligation to give up their land to the returning African Americans. Is the American government supposed to buy the land for them? |
Washington | Educator. | Slow approach to change. Inequality accepted. Reconciliation. | Critical of African Americans that tried to move too fast. Weakness: Whites have to be willing to embrace you and they were not. |
Wells | Journalist. | Lynching problem. Arms. Boycott. | Some thought her ideas were 'short term' and too localized. But boycotts were still needed generations later. |
