Cevap

To advocate for the social and economic uplift of Black communities while addressing the intersection of racial discrimination and gender exclusion.
The correct option is correct because the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) was created to promote the welfare of Black women, children, and communities. Because Black women faced the dual oppressions of racism and sexism, they focused on self-help, local community support, social services, and political advocacy that addressed both racial injustice and gender inequality.

Identify the historical organization and its founding era.
The organization is the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), established in 1896 during the Jim Crow era.
Understanding the timeline and historical context helps determine the challenges the organization set out to solve.
