Answer:
The correct answer is B) The word respect could easily mean the same as equality
Explanation:
The 1960s were a turbulent time for Race relations in the United States. Many people still believed that the 'White Man' had authority over African Americans and did not respect them
Racism was taken casually and the African-America, despite fighting for their rights, were seen as backward, poor and sometimes criminals.
The song was closely associated with many of the era, who felt they were humans, were equal to others and just wanted some 'respect'.
