Yesterday, I wasn't in class, but I think an assembly took up most of class.
Today, we read documents by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. Washington was born a slave, and believed that the African-Americans should work from the bottom to the top, gaining respect from the white people after they worked hard enough and gained enough wealth. This plan would take a long time, if it ever would work. Dubois was born in MA, so he was pretty much free, and he wanted immediate equality.
