Why did W.E.B. Du Bois challenge Booker T. Washington even though they were both trying to help African Americans? Du Bois believed that Washington seemed to accept segregation as long as African Americans good get good jobs and still had the right to vote. Washington utilized violent protests to try and gain more rights for African Americans while Du Bois wanted to use peaceful demonstrations. Du Bois believed that Washington focused too much on the issue of segregation and did not focus on other issues such as the right to vote or the availability of jobs.

W.E.B. Du Bois mounted a challenge to Washington's view by the turn of the century. He argued that Washington's views encouraged white segregationists and limited opportunities for African Americans. He believed that African Americans should have the opportunity of higher education, and should fight for their civil rights, rather than waiting for those rights to be granted after economic equality had been achieved.
