I think that the best choice for this would have to be Paragraph 6, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not. The reason I think that paragraph is the correct option is because it provides more detail, but what really sold me is the line that says " ... and enable African Americans to better integrate into American society as a whole." That shows that they are given opportunity to show off their works and make a better living for themselves, which is exactly what this question is asking/looking for.

"Artists held the belief that through intellect, literature, art, and music, their work could challenge racism and enable African Americans to better integrate into American society as a whole." (Paragraph 6)
