Answer 1

Answer:

C) DuBois felt that Garvey's belief in black separatism worked against the struggle for social equality.

Explanation:

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was an abolitionist and a civil rights activist who advocated for the full equality of the African American people. He was a part of the opposing forces against the Atlanta Compromise, an agreement started by Booker T. Washington which gives the whites authority over the slaves in the Southern States in exchange for proper education of the slaves.

Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. was political activist from Jamaica who believes in the Pan Africanism, the unification of all African people in the world. he believes that only through this can the African people be united and safe on their own.

W.E.B DuBois labelled Marcus Garvey as "The most dangerous enemy of the Negro race in America" for his belief in trying to unify the Africans only and not work for their equality in the nations they reside. DuBois thinks that this view to unify them is a promotion of racial separation and will not be essential for their equality among the people they live. Instead, DuBois believes that it is more important to strive for equality rather than separatism.
