The correct answer is C) Booker T. Washington.
The African American rights activist advocating an accommodating, patient approach to equality was Booker T. Washington.
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was a recognized African American activist in the early 20th century. Washington began his activist and teacher career after the civil war. His accommodating, patient approach to equality created considerable differences with another important civil rights figure: W.E.B. Du Bois. Booker T. Washington wrote many books on the topic of anti-slavery and civil rights, such as “The Story of My Life” and “Up from Slavery”.
