Answer 1

A. The two major political parties prohibited African Americans from membership

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Great Depression everyone was struggling to regain their place in a society that was drained of an essential resource: money. With the promise of "equal rights" and its slogan for "self-determination" the Communist Party drew the eyes of those who were long deprived of basic rights. African Americans longed for their rightful place in society and their constituted basic rights, which were advocated for only in the Communist Party with inclusion to them.
