The Presidential election of 2008 is considered historic because it was the first time that an African American candidate reached the presidency of the United States of America, as Democrat Barack Obama won against the Republican candidate John McCain.

It was also the first time that one of the two main political parties in the country supported the presidential candidacy of an African-American.

W.E.B. Du Bois was an outspoken critic of which fellow African American?

hodyreva [135]

WEB Du Bois was an outspoken critic of Booker T Washington. Du Bois believed the road towards ending racism would come from the most skilled and educated African Americans occupying positions like doctors and lawyers. Du Bois felt that would show that African Americans can be just as, if not more so, successful as white Americans. He disliked Booker T Washington's stances because Washington felt the answer to racism would come from African Americans occupying low-skilled jobs at first in order for a large mass of them to prove their mettle and ability to support society from the bottom-up.
