How does earl thorpe account for the popularity of booker t. washington among blacks in his day?

Correct

He was a revolutionary leader.

Booker T. Washington was born in 1856 and died in 1915, was an African-American man who was enslaved in Virginia and grew up on a plantation in West Virginia.

For the historian Earl Thorpe the first positive results of Booker Washington were his philosophy and the program of life for the masses of blacks in the United States. A life program that offered opportunities or space for initiative, advancement, growth and maturity. Washington offered an advance to his race and not a retreat and conceived himself as a revolutionary leader.

overtime, the civil rights movement changed in a way that not only it benefited african-americans, but benefited other ethnicity's such as latinos, asians, or women too! that's why the results of the movement be called mixed.

the civil rights movement brought about tremendous changes. no longer were blacks denied the right to vote, to eat, shop, and swim where they , and more importantly, to attend integrated schools. despite its many accomplishments, however, the civil rights movement had its shortcomings. for example, many people, both young and old, lost their lives, homes, jobs, and families. still other individuals were so damaged by psychological trauma that they ceased being productive members of the community. the movement left intact the economic inequities that had contributed to the maintenance of segregation. and finally, racism remained alive and well long after the movement's end. like most movements of its kind, the civil rights movement left behind a mixed legacy of triumph and tragedy.

the answer is option a.
