Answer 1

D. Washington believed that African Americans should be patient and focus on becoming integral members of society.

Step-by-step explanation:

Booker T. Washington was known for his role as adviser for several presidents and considered to be a dominant influence in the African American community.

But, he made several statements that show that he did not fully support the civil rights movement , One example of this is when he stated that Africans Americans should be patient and focus on becoming integral members of society.
