Answer:

I believe it's A (by showing the humanity of mistreated human beings).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellison aimed to show the "human universals" of African American life. He wanted to inspire empathy by showing that African Americans had the same dreams, aspirations, and needs as white members of society. As human beings, African Americans deserved the same rights and freedoms as anyone else.
