Booker T Washington Developed a Seemingly Logical Explanation of Racial Inequality

Booker T. Washington developed a seemingly logical explanation of racial inequality in the United States. Which of the following did he see as a way to overcome racial and class discrimination?

A) Racial evolution: Washington believed that inequality was the natural order of evolutionary laws. Given time, equality would be achieved, as the "darker semi-barbarous races became more civilized."
B) Politics: Washington was a strong advocate for giving the vote to African Americans. Only then could discrimination be overcome as African Americans formulated laws in their favor.
C) Economic development and industrial education: Washington viewed these as the entering wedge for solving the race problem because material prosperity was the real basis of civil and political equality.
D) Economic development and industrial education, along with racial evolution: Washington viewed economic development and industrial education as the entering wedge for solving the race problem because material prosperity was the real basis of civil and political equality. He also believed that inequality was the natural order of evolutionary laws. Given time, equality would be achieved, as the "darker semi-barbarous races became more civilized."
