The Ku Klux Klan reached its peak in membership and political influence in the South and the Midwest during the 1920s. Amid the racist political climate and worsening socioeconomic conditions in many areas, some Black leaders hoped that achievement in the arts would help revolutionize race relations while enhancing Blacks’ understanding of themselves as a people.
Influential African American thinkers, such as W.E.B. Du Bois, advocated Pan-Africanism, the idea that people of African descent have common interests and should be unified.

What caused relations between the United States and the Soviet Union to begin to change in the early 1980s? Check all that apply
Georgia [21]

You didn't list options, so I'll simply give some history here.

When President Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981, he took a hard stance toward the Soviet Union.  Where previous leaders of the nations had pursued detente and nuclear arms reduction, Reagan spoke of the Soviet Union as the "evil empire" and, in 1983, proposed a major new space-based missile defense program, the Strategic Defense initiative. 

But in 1985, the positions of the two countries began to shift again.  In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) in the Soviet Union.  In November 1985, Reagan and Gorbachev met in person for the first of several summit meetings they would have, and developed a personal relationship.  

In 1987, Reagan gave a speech in Berlin (a city divided between democratic West Berlin and communist East Berlin).  In that speech he issued a famous personal appeal to Gorbachev, saying:  

  • <em>We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!</em>

Which constitutional issue was debated after the release of the pentagon papers?
choli [55]
The constitutional issue of freedom of the press was debated constantly after the release of the Pentagon Papers. The Pentagon Papers were a series of top secret documents that were only supposed to be seen by members of the federal government. However, these documents were leaked to the New York Times and Washington Post thanks to Daniel Ellsberg.

These papers showed that the American government had been lying to the citizens about the progress being made in the Vietnam War. These documents were supposed to be classified, however these newspapers published them in their newspapers anyways. This resulted in the battle between freedom of the press and the ability of the government to keep documents classified from the American public.
