It all goes back to September‚ when I met a guy and went back to my teenage self - meaning that even though I’m

Booker T Washington and W.E.B Du Bois offered different strategies for dealing with the problems of poverty and discrimination faced by black Americans at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
