Malcolm X / duBois By: Badunis Du Bois viewed American society as being divided by race and that "The problem of the 20th century was the problem of the color line."(84) Du Bois took a stance against social segregation of the African American, whom he believed could be "…both a Negro and an American, without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without having the doors of Opportunity closed roughly in his face."(384) essentially, "to …showed first 75 words of 428 total…

Perhaps these strivings could not be satisfied because each was a product of there own epoch. Thomson, A. Twentieth Century Social Thought: A Brief Introduction.
