Question 10 • MO-US History II A

Why did W. E. B. Du Bois call Marcus Garvey “the most dangerous enemy of the Negro race in America”?

Answer
A
Garvey’s views promoted African unity.
B
Garvey’s views promoted integration.
C
Garvey’s views promoted racial separation.
D
Garvey’s views promoted African pride.

Explanation

Du Bois believed that progress for Black Americans should include equality and participation in American society. Garvey promoted Black nationalism and racial separation, including building independent Black institutions and encouraging people of African descent to return to Africa. Du Bois saw those views as a threat to integration and political equality, so the correct choice is “Garvey’s views promoted racial separation.”
