Question

15 “our country must deal justly with all citizens—black or white, rich or poor—if it is to be truly progressive.” —reform editor, 1915 what limitation of the progressive movement does this quote highlight? a progressivism focused exclusively on labor unions. b federal policies ended segregation. c reformers achieved full equality for women. d many reforms ignored racial inequality.

Explanation:

The quote emphasizes the need to deal justly with all citizens (regardless of race - black or white). This implies that previously (a limitation), racial inequality might have been ignored. Option A is incorrect as the quote has no relation to labor unions. Option B is wrong because federal policies ending segregation (like the Civil Rights Act) were much later (1960s). Option C is incorrect as the quote is about all citizens (not specifically women) and full equality for women wasn't achieved in 1915. Option D aligns with the idea that if the country must now deal justly with all (including considering race - black or white), it suggests that before (a limitation of the Progressive movement), racial inequality was ignored.

Answer:

D. Many reforms ignored racial inequality.
