W.E.B. Du Bois gained national prominence as the leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who fought for equal rights for blacks. Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta Commitment, an agreement drawn up by Booker T. Washington, which defined that blacks in the southern United States would submit to segregationist politics and in return receive basic education and economic opportunity. Instead, Du Bois argued that blacks had the same civil and political rights as whites, which he believed should be defended by an African-American intellectual elite.
