Cevap
The primary objective of the Black women's club movement was to advocate for the social uplift of Black families and the broader community while challenging both racial and gender discrimination.
The correct answer is correct because Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin’s speech highlights that the movement is dedicated to 'the good of women and men' and 'the benefit of all humanity,' reflecting the intersectional focus of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) and related clubs. They sought to address both racial discrimination and gender inequality while promoting community-wide uplift.
