Answer:
C. Cooper believed and proved that education could elevate any black student to success
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from "A Child Of Slavery Who Taught A Generation" by Karen Grugsby Bates, the article dealing with the life and success of Anna Cooper, educator, scholar and the fourth black woman earning a Ph.D.
The article mostly deals with her work as a teacher at Dunbar High School, the first public high school for black students.
Her efforts in providing top class education for black students paid off, with some of the students later becoming famous and successful in their fields.
Regardless of the fact many students came from poor families, she never gave up on them, trying her best to ignite the spark of knowledge in them.
