Answer:

Childhood & Early Life

Adam Clayton Powell Jr. was born on November 29, 1908, in New Haven, Connecticut to Adam Clayton Powell Senior and Mattie Buster Shaffer. Both his parents were of mixed racial origin and because of that young Powell was born with light complexion, blond hair and hazel eyes. He also had a sister, named Blanche, ten years his senior.

Immediately after the birth of his son, Adam Clayton Powell Sr. became the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, located at Harlem. Consequently, the family shifted to Harlem and eventually settled there. Though born poor Adam Sr. had worked his way up and consequently, Adam Junior grew up in comfortable surroundings.

Adam Junior passed out from Townsend Harris High School and enrolled at City College of New York. However, he spent much of time having fun and attending nightclubs. Hearing this, his father took him out of the college and put him in Colgate University as a freshman.

Adam Jr. graduated from Colgate University in 1930 with a BA degree. He next joined Columbia University and in 1933, he earned his MA in Religious Education from there. He then joined Shaw University and graduated from there in 1934.

Diary and artifact.
Primary Sources come from the original time or event. A diary represents a first-hand account of something by the original person. An artifact does virtually the same thing, being from that time period. All the other choices are incorrect because they are often told in a way that changes the original story or event.

Who held the view that businesses should regulate themselves without government oversight?

DIA [1.3K]

The correct answer is B. Conservatives held the view that businesses should regulate themselves without government oversight.

Conservatives typically argue that government should not play an important role in the regulation of business and the management of the economy. They generally oppose efforts to collect high tax rates and to redistribute income to help the poor. Such efforts, they argue, do not adequately reward people who have earned their money through hard work. However, social conservatives place great emphasis on the role of private voluntary charities (charities, especially faith-based ones) in helping the poor.
