Title: The Battle for the Souls of Black Folk
Description: In the 20 years between 1895 and 1915, two key leaders―Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois―shaped the struggle for African American rights. This book examines the impact of their fierce debate on America's response to Jim Crow and positions on civil rights throughout the 20th century―and evaluates the legacies of these two individuals even today.
