Answer:
B. Encouraged blacks to adjust to segregation and abandon the push for civil rights.
Explanation:
Booker T Washington was author and adviser to US presidents. He was one of the most important leaders in the African-American community and one of the last leaders born as slaves and faced discrimination due to Jim Crow Laws. During the lynchings of Black Americans in 1895, he gave a speech, known as <u>Atlanta Compromise and talked about the black progress through education rather than challenging the Jim Crow laws and disenfranchisement in the south</u>. He mobilized middle-class blacks, philanthropists, and politicians to build the economic strength of the black community. <u>He urged the blacks for accepting the discrimination and concentrating on elevating themselves through material prosperity and hard work.</u>
