DuBois had a long and active career as a leader in the civil rights movement. He helped to organize the Niagara Movement in 1905, which led to the NationalAssociation for theAdvancement ofColored People (NAACP), established in 1909. From 1910 until 1934,DuBois edited TheCrisis, the major journal of the NAACP. In terms of its educational policy, the NAACP position was that allAmerican children and youth should have genuine equality of educational opportunity. This policy, whichDuBois helped to formulate, stressed the following themes: (1) public schooling should be free and compulsory for allAmerican children; (2) secondary schooling should be provided for all youth; (3) higher education should not be monopolized by any special class or race.
As a leader in education,DuBois challenged not only the tradition of racial segregation in the schools but also the accommodationist ideology ofBooker T. Washington. The major difference between the two men was that Washington sought change that was evolutionary in nature and did not upset the social order, whereasDuBois demanded immediate change.DuBois believed in educated leadership for blacks, and he developed a concept referred to as the “talented tenth”, according to which 10 percent of the black population would receive a traditional college education in preparation for leadership.
