Which of the following describes the ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois on civil rights?

Question

A. Equal rights were not a privilege that needed to be earned and society as a whole should carry the burden of achieving equality.
B. African Americans should focus their energy on fighting Jim Crow laws in order to achieve suffrage.
C. Violence is the only way to achieve equality.
D. African Americans should build up their reputations as hard working citizens in order to gain equal rights.

D is wrong so is B the correct answer?

Answer 1

I think either A or B would be an accurate statement about Du Bois's views. Recheck your text and class notes to see what is emphasized. Only one will be "correct".
