In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois

advised African Americans to stop

agitating for equality and to proclaim

Line their solidarity with White Americans

 (5) for the duration of the First World War.

The editorial surprised many African

Americans who viewed Du Bois as

an uncompromising African American

leader and a chief opponent of the

(10) accommodationist tactics urged by

Booker, T.Washington. In fact,

however, Du Bois often shifted posi-

tions along the continuum between

Washington and confrontationists

(15) such as William Trotter. In 1895,

when Washington called on African

Americans to concentrate on improving

their communities instead of oppos-

ing discrimination and agitating for

(20) political rights, Du Bois praised

Washington’s speech. In 1903,

however, Du Bois aligned himself

with Trotter, Washington’s militant

opponent, less for ideological reasons

(25) than because Trotter had described

to him Washington’s efforts to silence

those in the African American press

who opposed Washington’s positions.

(30) reflected not a change in his long-term

goals but rather a pragmatic response

in the face of social pressure:

government officials had threatened

African American journalists with

(35) censorship if they continued to voice

grievances. Furthermore, Du Bois

believed that African Americans’

contributions to past war efforts had

brought them some legal and political

(40) advances. Du Bois’ accommoda-

tionism did not last, however. Upon

learning of systematic discrimination

experienced by African Americans

in the military, he called on them to

“return fighting” from the war.
