how did w. e. b. du bois challenge stereotypes in his exhibit of american negroes?

a. he presented scholarship written by african americans.

b. he made an exhibit of life in madagascar.

c. he embraced social darwinism.

d. he rejected the idea of pan - africanism.

Explanation:

W. E. B. Du Bois's Exhibit of American Negroes aimed to challenge stereotypes by showcasing the intellectual and scholarly contributions of African Americans. Option B is incorrect as the exhibit was about American Negroes, not Madagascar. Option C is wrong because Social Darwinism was not part of his approach here, and he was critical of such ideas in relation to race. Option D is incorrect as Du Bois was a proponent of Pan - Africanism. So presenting scholarship by African Americans (Option A) was a key way he challenged stereotypes.

Answer:

A. He presented scholarship written by African Americans.
