Provides opportunity to groups often overlooked due to discrimination

Affirmative action creates quotas for minorities and women to ensure they are not overlooked by mostly white, male employers because they discriminate. Affirmative action was meant to even the playing field after generations of gaps between white men and everyone else.

A focus of both booker t wahngton and w e dois was what for people in the african diaspora
Finger [1]

"Diaspora" means the  dispersion of a people with an ancestral origin from a common  homeland. Historically, African diaspora people were at odds with the question of what it meant to be black. Two of the main black intellectual voices into the questions of Black Identity were Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Dobois.These black thinkers explored and contextualized the important issues of the diaspora : sociological, anthropological, and philosophical debates on issues of race, gender, and belonging.  

However, they sharply disagreed on their views. Du Bois's  advocated Pan-Africanism, the belief that all people of African descent had common interests and therefore should all work together  for their freedom in civil rights. He was in favor of black nationalism by refusing to accept  legal segregation. He also criticized that Washington's popularity in the white community hindered other strategies towards racial equality. Booker T Washington, on the other hand, suggested that African Americans should accept segregation and the denial of the right to vote. According to Washington, Black Identity was to be achieved by working towards progress in business and technical education.
