Best B. It reinforced segregation and discrimination.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) advocated gradualism.  That meant being patient and doing what white society would allow, which meant changes and better times for blacks would come slowly.

A different point of view was taken by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963).  Du Bois noted that Washington's approach was not accomplishing any real gains for blacks.  He also felt that Washington's point of view showed acceptance of the racial inferiority of blacks.  Plus he saw that institutions in the black community were being dominated by persons like Washington, rather than really empowering all individuals for themselves.  Du Bois argued that all black citizens should have the right to vote, equality as citizens, and access to education according to their abilities, and his approach was more confrontational, attacking segregation using protests, lawsuits, and publications.   Du Bois was strongly active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
