Answer 2

Answer:

The phrase "We must have equal rights, but let those of us who are educated and know the ways of politics lead the way" is most likely to be said by W.E.B. Du Bois.

Explanation:

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was an African-American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, pan-Africanist, author and editor.

Born in Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a tolerant and respectful community but still experienced racism during his childhood. After graduating from Harvard, where he was the first black to get a PhD in philosophy, he became a professor of history, sociology and economics at the University of Atlanta. Du Bois was also one of the co-founders of the Universal Association for the Progress of Blacks (UNIA).

He gained national prominence when he was appointed leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who sought equal rights for blacks. Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta commitment of Booker T. Washington, an agreement in which blacks in the south would work submissively and submit to white political domination, while whites in the south guaranteed that blacks would receive educational opportunities and basic economic. Du Bois insisted on civil rights and on the increase of political representation, which in his opinion should be promoted by the African-American intellectual elite whom he named The Tenth Talent.
