Answer 1

DuBois was the co-founder of the NAACP, and felt that civil rights for blacks in the USA would never be freely granted, and never granted in the way that BT Washington thought they might be earned. He believed that rights must be demanded and that nothing less than absolute equality would ever be sufficient. He also believed in the "Talented Tenth", that the best and brightest 10% of African-Americans had as a responsibility to raise the status of equality of all blacks in the USA.
