Question

In Washington's opinion, which he gives to the reader near the end of Up from Slavery, what is the political future of his race

Answer 1

Answer:

Blacks will eventually reach full equality in the South, but only if southern whites give civil rights to them over time.

Explanation:

See page 578: "My own belief is . . . that the time will come when the Negro in the South will be accorded all the political rights which his ability, character, and material possessions entitle him to. I think, though, that the opportunity to freely exercise such political rights will not come in any large degree through outside or artificial forcing, but will be accorded to the Negro by the Southern white people themselves, and that they will protect him in the exercise of those rights."
