Cevap
Burroughs's curriculum bridged the divide between industrial education and liberal arts by combining vocational skills for economic self-reliance with cultural education to foster racial pride and leadership.
The correct answer explains that Burroughs's educational philosophy integrated vocational training for practical self-reliance with cultural history to foster racial pride. This bridged the historical divide between industrial education (advocated by Booker T. Washington) and classical liberal arts (advocated by W.E.B. Du Bois).
