Question at position 3 Nat King Cole was a very vocal and outspoken advocate for Civil Rights. TrueFalse

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a discrete true/false statement about Nat King Cole and Civil Rights, followed by two options to evaluate.
Option 1: 'True' — This asserts that Nat King Cole was a very vocal and outspoken advocate for Civil Rights. In reality, Cole used his platform to promote racial equality and civil rights, notably facing obstacles in the entertainment industry and repeatedly supporting integration efforts. He spoke out against segregation, chose tour routes that challenged discriminatory practices, and his visibility as a Black entertainer on national television helped bring attention to Civil Rights issues. The underlying claim hinges on the idea that he actively used his fame to advocate for change, which aligns with historical accounts of his stance and actions in the Civil Rights era.
Option 2: 'False' — This would argue that Cole was not a vocal advocate for Civil Rights. The historical record, however, shows that he did engage with civil rights issues in significant ways, even if some aspects of his activity were measured and faced limitations due to the era's political and social constraints. Declaring him as not vocal overlooks documented public statements, actions, and the symbolic impact of his career in supporting civil rights, making this option inconsistent with his documented role.

In evaluating these options, consider what it means for someone to be a vocal advocate: public statements, actions that challenge discrimination, and a willingness to use one’s platform to address civil-rights concerns. The safer interpretation supported by historical context is that being vocal and active in advocating for Civil Rights is consistent with Nat King Cole’s public life and choices. The alternative would require denying multiple well-known forms of advocacy, which would conflict with his documented legacy.
