Discussion #6: How progressive was The Progressive Era?
The Progressive era stands out as a time when American politics seriously confronted the social upheavals caused by industrialization. However, in some ways, the reform era was not very progressive in how it dealt with women, black Americans, and immigrants.
In order to prepare for this discussion forum:

Read W.E.B. Du Bois The Niagara Movement
The Niagra Movement’s “Declaration of Principles” by W.E.B.Du Bois

Background on The Niagara Movement-examine the archive
