Compare and contrast the leadership styles and philosophies of Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Dubois, Marcus Garvey, Martin L. King Jr, and Malcolm X

I would say that DuBois and King are similar in terms of
their philosophies.  I would also say that Garvey and Malcolm X are similar to one
another, but different from King and DuBois.  Finally, I would put Washington in a class
by himself.

Washington was the most accomodationist of
these leaders because he did not want to push for rights.  He wanted to wait until
whites were ready to give rights to blacks.

DuBois and King
did not want to wait for rights.  They wanted to push for them right away, but they
wanted to do so in an inclusive way.  Both envisioned an integrated society where whites
and blacks got a long.

Garvey and Malcolm were black
nationalists.  They did not want to join white America.  Instead, they wanted to be
separate and have blacks rely on themselves.
