Answer 1

A: they lacked proper education.

Step-by-step explanation:

african americans were not allowed to have a job because they didn't have an education. thus meaning that at the time, people couldn't go and be educated, because of slavery. most african americans were slaves at the time and their masters didn't allow them to have a proper education.
