Two African Americans who fought discrimination and racial injustice were WEB DuBois and Marcus Garvey. How did they differ in their approaches?

W. E. B. Du Bouis and Marcus Garvey approached the civil rights movement of their time with almost perfectly opposing strategies. Du Bouis proposed African Americans to accept white ideology whereas Garvey advocated the supremacy of African Americans.

Explanation:

Du Bois wanted the African Americans to accept the American society and ideologies whereas Marcus Garvey tried to lead the masses of black people towards black purity of race and culture through black nationalism. He was both an integrationist and an advocate of a form of voluntary segregation. Marcus Garvey was a charismatic leader of masses who advocated complete separatism.

Garvey advocated economic self determination for black people. According to Du Bois, Garvey was merely racial chauvinist who of course he appreciated Garvey' eloquence and oration and the way he ins tiled pride in the hearts of the African Americans.
