marcus garvey encouraged african americans to:

a. work with whites to achieve economic success.

b. embrace the idea of the \talented tenth.\

c. leave the united states to escape discrimination.

d. fight segregation on streetcars.

Explanation:

Marcus Garvey was a proponent of Black nationalism and Pan - Africanism. He advocated for African Americans to return to Africa or leave the US to escape discrimination and build their own independent communities. Option A is incorrect as he didn't promote working with whites for economic success. Option B, the "talented tenth" idea was associated with W.E.B. Du Bois, not Garvey. Option D, fighting segregation on streetcars was more associated with civil rights efforts like those of Ida B. Wells, not Garvey's main focus.

Answer:

C. Leave the United States to escape discrimination.
