Answer:

b. an end to segregation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. the defeat of European colonialists

b. an end to segregation

c. the defeat of southern whites

d. the defeat of Germany

e. the defeat of Communism

In this essay, Wesley argues that African Americans have always wanted the "four freedoms," which was a term used by Roosevelt to define the freedoms he believed all people deserved. These were freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. However, segregation did not allow African Americans access to these freedoms. Therefore, the end of the war and the reestablishment of peace would have to also mean the end to segregation in order for it to be valuable to African Americans.

WWII revitalized the dark battle for correspondence. Each patron required the privilege to vote in the South, the destroying of isolation, and access to the "American way of life." Black individuals needed to be considered nationals of the US with their four flexibilities as FDR notices. Needed vote based system at home, needed to win the war however win peace.
