Why is WEB DoBois more admired today than he is in his own time?

Question

it goes along with the question of ~why was booker t Washington more admired in his own time than he is today?~

Answer 1

it happens with alot of great historical, artistic figures, change usually isnt realized until the positive effects sink in, normally after the person has died.

Answer 2

Times and people change.  Even though I don't think Booker T's message was totally wrong(just partially).

Answer 3

WEB is pretty much forgotten today.  Don't believe me?  Stand on a busy street with a clipboard and ask 100 passersby, "Who was WEB DuBois?" and if you get more than one person who has the vaguest notion I will be surprised.
