Which sentence in the excerpt best shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other min

orities?
What White Publishers Won’t Print

by Zora Neale Hurston (excerpt)
Publishers and producers are cool to the idea. Now, do not leap to the conclusion that editors and producers constitute a special class of un-believers. That is far from true. Publishing houses and theatrical promoters are in business to make money. They will sponsor anything that they believe will sell. They shy away from romantic stories about Negroes and Jews because they feel that they know the public indifference to such works, unless the story or play involves racial tension. It can then be offered as a study in Sociology, with the romantic side subdued. They know the skepticism in general about the complicated emotions in the minorities. The average American just cannot conceive of it, and would be apt to reject the notion, and publishers and producers take the stand that they are not in business to educate, but to make money. Sympathetic as they might be, they cannot afford to be crusaders.

The best sentence that shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other minorities is “They shy away from romantic stories about Negroes and Jews because they feel that they know the public indifference to such works, unless the story or play involves racial tension.”

In this sentence of the excerpt we can infer publishing houses will not sponsor books or publications based on stories about minorities and black people because the public is not interested in those stories and would not buy books related to topics that have minorities as main characters.

if you were a weathly victorian man or woman what advantages might an education in the classical curriculum provide?
GrogVix [38]

Until near the end of the Victorian Times wealth children would be educated at home. Boys on turning 10 would go to Public schools like Eton or Harrow, girls would remain studying at home with private tutors.

A classical education - which forms the basis of a liberal education -  in Victorian times meant to be prepared to occupy that rank of society to which persons destined for the services would usually belong, maintaining thus a sense of hierarchy and class order which means promises of privilege and ascendancy.

Therefore, a classical education for a wealthy man or woman would provide the tools for the maintenance of the status quo and for further ascension on society.
