Who disagreed with Washington's views in the North?

  • Marcus Garvey

  • Malcolm X

  • W. E. B. Du Bois

  • Martin Luther King Jr.

Answer

W. E. B. Du Bois, a prominent African American intellectual and civil rights activist, diverged from Washington's views in the North. Du Bois believed that Washington's accommodationist approach, advocating for gradual progress through vocational education and economic self-sufficiency, was insufficient in addressing the systemic racial discrimination faced by African Americans.
