Booker T. Washington advocated that African-Americans should seek economic reforms and progress as the prime method to achieving equality with Whites. His view was a minority in the African-American community, which, by and large, agreed with W.E.B. DuBois, who argued that African-Americans should seek political and civil rights as the prime method to achieving equality with Whites. Correspondingly, Booker T. Washington was embraced by prominent White Segregation-Supporters since Washington did not directly oppose Segregation.
