Black leaders looked to overcome challenges
Booker T. Washington - wanted Blacks to be educated - founded Tuskeegee Institute
W.E.B. Dubois - wanted blacks to stand up for rights and demand political and legal equality
1909 - NAACP founded. result of Springfield Riots -led whites
Washington was against the NAACP
Beginning of 20th C. there were many race riots.... violent - often an excuse for violence
The great migration led to riots too
1910-1940 1.75 million AAs moved North, known as great migration
