The correct answer is Theodore Judah. Judah was an American railroad and civil engineer who lobbied Congress to pass the Transcontinental Railroad Act with the purpose of building a railroad that would link the Mississippi River Valley to the Pacific coast. The act was finally passed in 1862; construction began that same year and finished in in 1869. However, Judah died in 1863, years before construction had finished.

According to Booker Washington, Africa Americans should try to attain industrial education but according to W.E.B. Du Bois, they should attain liberal arts education.

<h3 /><h3>Why did both people differ in this regard?</h3>

Booker Washington believed that Blacks should focus on wealth accumulation and to him the faster way to do this was to learn industrial skills that would allow them to set up service industries.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the other hand, wanted Blacks to get the same liberal arts education that White people did as he believed this would contribute to equality.

Note that Document B wasn't attached so I gave a general answer.
