Question 185777 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

Why did African American women’s clubs work to create a "Black infrastructure”?

Answer
A
The government had provided them with grants and other funding to do this work.
B
The women mostly belonged to labor unions that offered services to its members.
C
The government was not providing social services to the African American community.
D
The members were mostly city and town officials who had been elected to do this work.

Explanation

African American women’s clubs created a “Black infrastructure” to provide resources and services their communities could not get elsewhere. Because government agencies were not providing adequate social services to African Americans, the clubs organized support themselves. This matches the choice that the government was not providing social services to the African American community.
