Booker T. Washington believed that the best strategy to end racial segregation was for African Americans to focus on education and economic strategies to advance the black community for the long term. Although the Jim Crow laws and the Black Codes were present at the time, he suggested that the African American community ignore this and focus on aspects which he believed would help them in the long run, such as education and financially improving the situations of different black populations.
