Question

Which of the following are reasons why African-Americans did not benefit from the economic prosperity most white Americans enjoyed?
select two correct answers

African-Americans received dishonorable charges from the military

African-Americans can only attend certain colleges

African-Americans mainly lived in the south

African-Americans were not interested in moving into the suburbs

African-Americans made less money than their white counter parts

Answer 1

The two correct answers are:

1. **African-Americans mainly lived in the south** - This geographic concentration often limited access to better job opportunities and economic prosperity that were more readily available in other regions.

2. **African-Americans made less money than their white counterparts** - Systemic discrimination in the job market led to lower wages and fewer opportunities for African-Americans compared to white Americans.

The other options do not directly relate to the economic disparity experienced by African-Americans during periods of economic prosperity.
