Today I read chapter nine and found out some stuff on segregation. The NACW is The National Association of Colored Women. They are a group of African American woman who help with nurseries, reading rooms, and kindergartens. They wanted to help keep the workplace safe and healthy.The NAACP is The National Associatoin for the Advancement of Colored People. Du Bois was upset with racial unjustness. They had over 6,000 members. They wanted total equality between blacks and whites. They didnt have very much support from the Progressive Movement, which was mainly focused on the middle-class whites. The presidents didnt help much either.Roosevelt did not support the civil rights fo African Americans. He supported a very small number of individual African Americans. Roosevelt made a lot of blacks angry when he dismissed a bunch of African American soldiers who were accused of being in a conspiracy.Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to have dinner with him at the White House. Booker was the head of a few African American committees and he was then liked by blacks and whited.Du Bois, an African American, didn't like Booker because he blamed black poverty on blacks. Du Bois was fighting for economic and social equality. He was angry with the racial injustice and he was like a founer of the NAACP.That is all I got to today.
