The Impact of Progressive Era Reforms on African Americans

This review addresses the essential question: Did African Americans benefit from the reforms of the Progressive Era? We will explore the contrasting views of W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington on civil rights, labor, and the necessity of political action. Washington emphasizes the importance of hard work and patience, advocating for dignity in labor, while Du Bois argues for immediate civil rights through equal treatment and political engagement. Ultimately, we investigate the extent to which African Americans were included in or excluded from Progressive reforms.

Washington • Black people must push hard for civil rights through political action • “By every civilized and peaceful method we must strive for the rights which the world accords to men, clinging unwaveringly to those words which the sons of the Fathers would gladly forget: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”– W.E.B Du Bois Black people are largely left out of the reforms of the Progressive Era
