Question

which best describes w. e. b. du boiss opinion of booker t. washingtons accommodationist approach?
it was an important tool in ending segregation.
it reinforced segregation and discrimination.
it could work, if paired with more aggressive tactics.
it was the cause of violence against african americans.

Explanation:

W. E. B. Du Bois was critical of Booker T. Washington's accommodationist approach. Du Bois believed that Washington's strategy of accepting segregation in the short - term in exchange for economic opportunities was flawed. He thought that by not challenging segregation directly, it would be reinforced. This is in contrast to the idea that it was an important tool to end segregation (Du Bois wanted more immediate action against segregation). Also, Du Bois did not see it as a strategy that could work even with more aggressive tactics (he was fundamentally opposed to the accommodationist base). And there is no evidence to suggest that Du Bois thought it was the direct cause of violence against African Americans (violence was more due to systemic racism rather than Washington's approach).

Answer:

It reinforced segregation and discrimination.
