In a 1918 editorial, W. E. B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim their solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker T. Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists such as William Trotter. In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.
Du Bois’s wartime position thus reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressures: government officials had threatened African American journalists with censorship if they continued to voice grievances. Furthermore, Du Bois believed that African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political advances. Du Bois’s accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to "return fighting" from the war.
The author of the passage refers to Washington’s call to African Americans in 1895 primarily in order to______.
选项
A、identify Du Bois’s characteristic position on the continuum between accomodationism and confrontationism
B、explain why Du Bois was sympathetic with Washington’s views in 1895
C、clarify how Trotter’s views differed from those of Washington in 1895
D、support an assertion about Du Bois’s tendency to shift his political positions
答案
C
解析
短文作者提到华盛顿于1895年向美国黑人发出的号召,主要是为了证实有关杜波依斯往往改变政治立场的断言。为了说明这一点.第一段第四句和第五句表明,杜波依斯赞扬华盛顿1895年为美国黑人所作的演讲,但是.到了1903年杜波依斯与华盛顿最强劲的对手结盟。这就证明杜波依斯经常改变立场。
