The correct answer is D. His election was the first step to open the doors to other African-American political leaders. He fervently supported racial equality and spoke to his fellow senators about the capacity of African Americans. He worked persistently for equality. He successfully defended the cause of black workers. Congressman Blaine said: the colored men who took their seats in the Senate and House of Representatives were studious, serious and ambitious men of honorable public conduct for any race.
