Answer:D) The Lumière Brothers.
Explanation:
Auguste and Louis Lumière were two of the first filmmakers in history. They created and improved the Cinematograph (1890s in Lyon), which is a motion picture camera. Unlike Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, which was not portable, the Cinematograph was able to work without electricity, so it was operated by a hand-crank. As well the Cinematograph could project an image onto a screen allowing more than one person to view the images.

Mr. Washington distinctly asks that black people give up, at least for the present, three things,—
First, political power,
Second, insistence on civil rights,
Third, higher education of Negro youth,—and concentrate all their energies on industrial education, and accumulation of wealth, and the conciliation of the South. This policy has been courageously and insistently advocated for over fifteen years, and has been triumphant for perhaps ten years. As a result of this tender of the palm-branch, what has been the return? In these years there have occurred:
1. The disfranchisement of the Negro.
2. The legal creation of a distinct status of civil inferiority for the Negro.
3. The steady withdrawal of aid from institutions for the higher training of the Negro.
These movements are not, to be sure, direct results of Mr. Washington's teachings; but his propaganda has, without a shadow of doubt, helped their speedier accomplishment. The question then comes: Is it possible, and probable, that nine millions of men can make effective progress in economic lines if they are deprived of political rights, made a servile caste, and allowed only the most meager chance for developing their exceptional men? If history and reason give any distinct answer to these questions, it is an emphatic NO.
What does DuBois conclude is the cause of economic progress?
a) People must be given political rights, civil rights, and an education.
b) People must resolve their discrepancies with each other first and foremost.
c) By improving industry, people can accumulate more wealth, which drives economic progress.
d) People must be ready to say NO when necessary.
So for Institutions, like individuals, are properly judged by their ideals, their methods, and their achievements in the production of men and women who are to do the world's work.
One school is better than another in proportion as its system touches the more pressing needs of the people it aims to serve, and provides the more speedily and satisfactorily the elements that bring to them honorable and enduring success in the struggle of life. Education of some kind is the first essential of the young man, or young woman, who would lay the foundation of a career. The choice of the school to which one will go and the calling he will adopt must be influenced in a very large measure by his environments, trend of ambition, natural capacity, possible opportunities in the proposed calling, and the means at his command.
In the past twenty-four years thousands of the youth of this and other lands have elected to come to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to secure what they deem the training that would offer them the widest range of usefulness in the activities open to the masses of the Negro people. Their hopes, fears, strength, weaknesses, struggles, and triumphs can not fail to be of absorbing interest to the great body of American people, more particularly to the student of educational theories and their attendant results.
Why does Washington think thousands of young people have attended Tuskegee Institute since it opened?
a) They wanted to improve the economic situation of the black people.
b) They desired to become businessman and property-owners.
c) They felt a need to demonstrate the intelligence and reliance of the black people.
d) They sought receive training in useful, industrial activities.
Queen Liliuokalani was deposed in January 1893 by a group of American and European businessmen, with the support of U.S. Minister John Stevens and a contingent of U.S. Marines.
The Queen surrendered with hopes of being reinstated by President Cleveland. He had motivations to want her throne restored mainly on moral grounds. Because he opposed the conquest of a lesser state by a greater one as well as any form of annexation that would only be an excuse for illicit territorial acquisition.
Answer: He thought americans acted shamefully
Explanation:
Sugar plantation owners, mostly white Americans, plotted against Queen Liliuokalani, having US Marines forcing her to abdicate the throne and placing her under house arrest because they believed that having Hawaii annexed by the United States, would make their tariff obstacles disappear.
President Grover Cleveland, a fervent anti-imperialist, thought Americans had behaved shamefully in Hawaii, so he withdrew the annexation treaty to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but the issue couldn´t be resolved under his government.
