Consider the timeline of early civil rights events below:
* 1905: W.E.B. Du Bois and other Black intellectuals form the Niagara Movement, demanding full civil and political rights.
* 1909: Activists organize the National Negro Conference in response to racial violence, establishing the National Negro Committee.
* 1910: The National Negro Committee formally organizes as the interracial National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Based on the timeline and your knowledge of African American history, which of the following represents a key difference between the organization founded in 1905 and the one formed in 1910?
- The organization formed in 1910 was established as an interracial coalition, whereas the 1905 organization was composed entirely of Black activists.Cevap
- BThe 1905 organization was created as a local branch of the larger 1910 organization to focus on Southern voting rights.
- CThe 1905 organization was led primarily by white philanthropists, while the 1910 organization barred white members from leadership positions.
- DThe 1910 organization focused exclusively on vocational training, while the 1905 organization focused on legal litigation.
Cevap
The organization formed in 1910 was established as an interracial coalition, whereas the 1905 organization was composed entirely of Black activists.
The correct option is correct because it accurately identifies the difference in membership composition between the two organizations. The Niagara Movement, founded in 1905, restricted its membership to Black intellectuals to maintain a distinct Black-led voice, whereas the NAACP, established in 1909-1910, was consciously formed as an interracial alliance to leverage broader resources and influence.
