well the answer is B :)

Answer 2

Answer:

B.They thought of themselves as being African American.

Explanation:

Chambers and her brother, despite being Latinos, identified themselves as African American citizens. This is because they were dark-skinned, did not speak Spanish and did not have a Latin surname, which caused the Latinos to reject them.

In addition, they lived in Brooklin making them have a lot of contact with African American culture and being accepted into the black community due to the color of their skin and the acculturation they suffered.
