(E) both followed a world war
Answer:
(A) the emergence of a civil rights movement in the South
Explanation:
The 1920s and the 1950s both followed devastating World Wars, witnessed a rise in fears of communism, had Republicans in the White House (1921-1930 and 1953-1960), and produced unique music genres in jazz and rock and roll. There was no significant progress in civil rights, however, during the 1920s, though the 1950s saw the emergence of a civil rights movement in the South that received its biggest push from the 1954 Brown v. Topeka Supreme Court case that ruled that the principle of separate but equal was unconstitutional.
