The civil rights leader that said that blacks were entitled to social and political, as well as economic equality was W. E. B DuBois.
Dubois (1868-1963) was one of the most important African American activists that fought for the end of racial segregation in the United States. He co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He critiqued and confronted the ideas of other important black activists, Booker T. Washington, who thought that the way for black people was through education.
