African American workers.

好像是这里定位把, 可恶的ETS, 答案很隐蔽

请指教!

我觉得红色部分by winning victories for White 及as well as African American workers.可以对应serving workers’ interests。

仔细想了想，wangyu  GG说的有道理，先谢谢了，但是，我还是没办法排除E,我的根据和前面7楼MM一样：

However, recognizing
employers’ power over workers
as a central factor in African
(30) Americans’ economic marginal-
ization, African American workers
saw the need to join with White
workers in seeking change despite
White unionists’ toleration of or
(35) support for racial discrimination.

我觉得这里有hamper的意思啊，请再帮我看看吧！

首先认为E不对, hamper unions和不团结黑人中间有一个逻辑GAP. 文中并没有提到不团结黑人就是hamper了.

认为A也不对: 把wining for both white & black 等价于 serving for worker中间也有一个GAP---胜利了才是serving?.文中一开始并没有说到白人一开始就没有意识到黑人联盟也是为工人服务的.工人和所有工人在意义上感觉差别比较大. iow 黑人联盟一开始也是为工人服务的.

愚见认为D是最佳选项, 文章定位在这句话:

While the American

Federation of Labor (AFL) eitherexcluded African Americans or

(10)          maintained racially segregated unions, 这句话里有两个主要信息--隔离黑人和团结白人力量. D选项正好是这句话的原文改写

D选项的内容与１９－２８行内容相反＂

Yet it can be argued that

through contracts negotiated and

enforced by White union mem-

excluded—were often instrumental

in maintaining the occupational

segregation and other forms of

racial discrimination that kept

economically oppressed during

this period. ＂

I choose A

A) Their attitudes toward African AMerican union organizers changed once they recognized that the activities of these organizers were serving workers' interests -> for white as well as African american workers

"gaining the respect of
(40) even racist White unionists by winning
victories for White as well as
African American workers"

E is not correct because Afri American were not hampered to join unions - the idea of hampered is not mentioned in the passage
