Rights and Freedom of African American communities
When we talk about the vindication of rights and freedom of African -American communities we talk about a story with extremely violent, inhuman and even dark but realistic dyes that we should all know and know so that we empathize with and be allies of the struggle that is still lived;
The raw texts of Booker t Washington leave us an incredible collection of data on what it was like to live as a black slave in a racist and unfair America, from the abuse, the lack of adequate diet, the uncomfortable and painful garments, until thesob of a mother, tears to find and witness freedom one day.
"I did not receive any kind of education while I was a slave, although I remember that on several occasions I reached the door of the school with one of my young loves carrying the free (Washington, asense from slavery."
Here we can appreciate how a human being within uncertainty seeks education, and seeing it is perplexed because it is a reality so far to its context of life that it cannot even imagine that one day it could even be part of
Another side that impressed me is the communication that slaves entailed, they were always informed until the civil war ended and they regained their freedom they were the first to be informed about what would happen to them, through the "clandestine telegraph" an incredible tool of toolEarly communication that always kept them informed whether illegally or clandestine
On the other hand, Du Bois magnificent writer and poet, has a much more nostalgic perspective about freedom and questions it a lot since he states that there is still under many socioculturally speaking negative biases, he speaks a lot of integration which is not complete for aBlack person, I felt the same when reading their lines because I have witnessed those moments where for being part of a vulnerable community, being in a society gives you that opportunity, but not not integrating 100%
Du Bois On the other hand he speaks of Booker t Washington and touches many aspects of the black leader, from positive points such as his mission when creating a somewhat thought school, and his activism, but also highlights big differences
“This‘ Atlanta’s commitment! It is, with all the most notable possibility in the career of Mr. Booker T Washington! "
Atlanta’s commitment was a powerful speech that Booker gave about the dissertation against Afro communities, an agreement where the color people could obtain financial opportunity for them, but would undergo more discrimination and segregation, and was seen negatively by Du Bois and bymany other color personalities of the time
However, Du Bois and Washington had their greatest differences in the educational field because Washington thought that Afro schools should only be limited to agriculture, and industrial issues and Du Bois fervently considered that African Americans should be able to exercise races of humanities,Classic arts, contemporary too, argued it in a way that said that the arts were the way to leadership elites
"Along with the institutionalization of the segregation of public spaces, the dispossession of political rights contributed to consolidate the legal racism system"
Erika Pani makes it clear that after the civil war and the release with the rights of blacks, there are still problems and for me the Atlanta agreement only consolidated that unfortunate racist symptom.
In conclusion, I think that both personalities were a key piece for the development of Afro communities and inspired the entire world with their struggle and activism, I think that Du Bois was under my personal perspective much more efficient and focused than Washington, since he thought offuture in a better way in many fields such as educational, that shows us a clearer vision that he possessed about the Afro community and what he saw in that.
