accommodationism  

Definition

  • Accommodationism generally refers to a public policy in which African Americans are advised to accept current racial domination and discrimination in order to be gradually granted full citizenship and integration into American society at some future time. As a major turn in 20th-century African American social and political philosophy, accommodationism is usually associated with Booker T. Washington's thought and practices.
