Blacks who moved to northern cities found:
1. inability to vote
2. quality public housing
3. acceptance and respect
4. middle-class status
5. new problems and forms of exploitation
3, or 2 ?
I believe it's 5.
3 is the closest guess
The statement you are referring to is about the experiences of blacks who moved to northern cities between 1945 and 1960. It mentions several things that they found. Let's break down the options:
1. Inability to vote: This refers to the fact that despite moving to the North, African Americans still faced barriers to voting due to various discriminatory practices, such as poll taxes and literacy tests. This was a challenge they continued to face.
2. Quality public housing: This option suggests that blacks who moved north found better access to good-quality public housing. In the context of that time period, it was true that some northern cities offered more and better housing opportunities compared to the segregated and often substandard conditions they faced in the South.
3. Acceptance and respect: This option suggests that blacks who moved north were met with acceptance and respect from the wider community. However, the reality is more complex. While many African Americans did find more opportunities and less overt racism in the North, they still encountered varying degrees of discrimination and prejudice.
4. Middle-class status: This option suggests that many blacks who moved north were able to achieve a middle-class status. While some African Americans did experience upward mobility as they found better employment opportunities in the North, it would be incorrect to assume that all blacks who moved north automatically achieved middle-class status.
5. New problems and forms of exploitation: This option recognizes that while there were opportunities in the North, there were also new challenges and forms of exploitation that African Americans had to confront. Examples include racial segregation, urban poverty, police brutality, and redlining (a discriminatory practice in lending and housing).
Based on the information provided, the accurate options are 1 (inability to vote) and 5 (new problems and forms of exploitation). However, it is important to note that the experiences of blacks who moved to northern cities were diverse and varied depending on individual circumstances and the specific location they moved to.
