In the "Address to the Niagara Movement," DuBois makes the point that by condoning injustice toward its Blacks, America is contradicting the values on which it was founded.

Which two answers provide reasoning to support this point?


"Discrimination in travel and public accommodation has so spread that some of our weaker brethren are actually afraid to thunder against color discrimination as such and are simply whispering for ordinary decencies."

"It is a fight for ideals, lest this, our common fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the home of the slave a byword and a hissing among the nations for its sounding pretensions and pitiful accomplishment."

"We appeal to the young men and women of this nation, to those whose nostrils are not yet befouled by greed and snobbery and racial narrowness: stand up for the right, prove yourselves worthy of your heritage and whether born North or South dare to treat men as men."

"We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people."

The options that provide reasoning to support the point, in "Address to the Niagara Movement," that America is contradicting the values of its foundation when the country condones injustice are the following:

B. "It is a fight for ideals, lest this, our common fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the home of the slave a byword and a hissing among the nations for its sounding pretensions and pitiful accomplishment."

C. "We appeal to the young men and women of this nation, to those whose nostrils are not yet befouled by greed and snobbery and racial narrowness: stand up for the right, prove yourselves worthy of your heritage and whether born North or South dare to treat men as men."

Supporting the point

DuBois's point is that, when Americans accept racial injustice, they are going against the values that served as principles and guidelines when the country was founded.

Option A does speak of racial injustice and segregation, but it does not support the point directly.

Option B is correct. It says America is not the land it was when founded, that it is " false to its founding" when it accepts slavery.

Option C is also correct. It speaks of being " worthy of your heritage," that is, of being faithful to those values that assure equality among all people.

Option D speaks of the right to education and, like option A, does not directly support the point.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letters B and C as the correct options.
