Q6 to Q9: Some historians contend that con- ditions in the United States during the Second World War gave rise to a Line dynamic wartime alliance between (5) trade unions and the African American community, an alliance that advanced the cause of civil rights. They con- clude that the postwar demise of this vital alliance constituted a lost oppor- (10) tunity for the civil rights movement that followed the war. Other scholars, however, have portrayed organized labor as defending all along the rela- tively privileged position of White (15) workers relative to African American workers. Clearly, these two perspec- tives are not easily reconcilable, but the historical reality is not reducible to one or the other. (20) Unions faced a choice between either maintaining the prewar status quo or promoting a more inclusive approach that sought for all members the right to participate in the internal (25) affairs of unions, access to skilled and high-paying positions within the occupational hierarchy, and protec- tion against management’s arbitrary authority in the workplace. While (30) union representatives often voiced this inclusive ideal, in practice unions far more often favored entrenched interests. The accelerating develop- ment of the civil rights movement (35)
following the Second World War exacerbated the unions’ dilemma, forcing trade unionists to confront contradictions in their own practices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q6: The passage is primarily concerned with - providing a context within which to evaluate opposing viewpoints about a historical phenomenon
