Answer:

W.C. Coleman

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the options, Coleman was the only one to actively help African Americans by creating the nation's first African-American-owned and operated textile factory in 1898.

Jim Crow were laws, not a person, and were detrimental to African Americans.

Pat McCrory was a recent NC governor from 2013-1017.

A. M. Waddell was a prominent figure that spoke against African American rights and was largely responsible for the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898.

So that leaves Coleman!
