Question

B.
Some Native Americans left the reservation and began to integrate into U.S. society.
C.
Latin Americans started LULAC, which represents their political needs.
D.
Many African Americans began volunteering at local charity organizations.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Latin Americans started LULAC, which represents their political needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) was founded in 1929, but it gained significant momentum during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. LULAC was established to promote the social, economic, and political advancement of Hispanic Americans and to advocate for their civil rights.

By organizing and advocating for their political needs through LULAC, Latin Americans were able to become more active in government and work towards greater representation and recognition of their rights. LULAC played an important role in fighting discrimination and segregation against Hispanic Americans and lobbying for civil rights legislation to protect their rights.

While the other options may represent ways in which minority groups became more active in their communities or integrated into American society, they do not specifically relate to increased involvement in government.
