Freemasons were the members of the secret fraternal order of Free and Accepted Masons that is a worldwide secret society.

Many of the founding fathers were freemasons, like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock, John Marshall. So nine of the 56 men that signed the Declaration of Independence were Masons and 13 of the 39 that signed the US Constitution were also masons.

I believe the correct answer is B. Washington and DuBois did not want African Americans to give up on achieving racial equality in the United States.

Marcus Garvey advocated black separatism as the best chance for African Americans to prosper (he supported Pan-Africanism and founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL)), but Washington and DuBois did not want African Americans to give up on achieving racial equality in the United States.
