Answer:
The central idea of the article is that 'Education is a pathway to success.' Through the feud between W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington, the author has tried to further the central idea.
Explanation:
'A Child of Slavery Who Taught A Generation' is an article written by K-a-r-e-n G-r-i-g-s-b-y B-a-t-e-s. The article is about the success and life of A-n-n-a J-u-l-i-a H-a-y-wood Cooper.
The central idea of the article is, "Education is a pathway to success." A-n-n-a J-u-l-i-a was able to make her standing among the whites through her education. She became the first black woman to earn a doctoral degree in the United States, and not only that, her school– Washington Colored High School was able to educate many good students.
The feud between W. E. B Dubois and Booker T Washington were on the ways through which blacks will get independence. Booker believed it will be through education, while Dubois believed in demanding things aggressively.
Supporting evidence:
"Du Bois maintained that the “talented tenth” of the race should be the ones who would lead black America to its place alongside — not behind — its white peers. Washington, ever-conscious that slavery had only recently ended, wanted to concentrate on the other 90 percent, who would need jobs to feed and clothe their families."
