the most successful sppech given by him was at atlanta.he addressed a negro moses.it was the first time that a negro was made to give a speech in the south.his speech electrified the audience.Washington's 1895 atlanta exposition address was viewed as a "revolutionary moment" by both African Americans and whites across the country. At the time w.e.b.du bois supported him, but they grew apart as Du Bois sought more action to remedy disfranchisement and improve educational opportunities for blacks. After their falling out, Du Bois and his supporters referred to Washington's speech as the "Atlanta Compromise" to express their criticism that Washington was too accommodating to white interests.
