Booker T. Washington would NOT support option B: "Truth and knowledge would cause different races to understand and accept each other."
Washington advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance as a foundation for African Americans to achieve equality, often emphasizing practical skills over political activism or social integration during his time. He focused more on the gradual attainment of rights through economic progress rather than on immediately addressing social and political equality through mutual understanding.
