Watson's view on race relations

W. E. B. Du Bois, often associated with progressive views on race, believed that true equality required addressing deep social, economic, and educational disparities faced by Black Americans. He emphasized the importance of fostering a sense of identity and pride within the Black community while advocating for civil rights and integration. Du Bois saw race relations as a complex interplay of history, culture, and power, asserting that progress depended on collective effort to challenge injustice, promote understanding, and create equal opportunities, ultimately aiming for a society where racial differences no longer determine one’s social status or life chances.
