Explanation:

Question 37

Booker T. Washington advocated for African Americans to focus on economic self - sufficiency and education (uplift through hard work) before directly challenging for civil rights, which was at odds with leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois who pushed for immediate civil rights. Option A is wrong as Washington didn't advocate violence. Option B is incorrect as he didn't push for emigration to Africa (that was more associated with Marcus Garvey). Option C is not his stance. So the correct answer is D.

The Leo Frank case was highly charged with antisemitism. The case and the subsequent lynching of Frank led to a rise in antisemitism in Georgia, and this contributed to the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan. Option A is wrong as the state didn't strike down discriminatory laws. Option B is incorrect as the federal government didn't remove the governor. Option C is wrong as migration from the north didn't increase to reinvigorate the economy due to this case. So the correct answer is D (assuming the last part of option D is "the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan").

Answer:

D. for arguing that African Americans should focus on establishing themselves in society through hard work and education before fighting for civil rights
