问题     Given the context of social change in the early
     1960s, Negro history was now the object of
     unprecedented attention among wide segments of
Line the American population, black and white. In
(5) academe nothing demonstrated this growing
     legitimacy of black history better than the way in
     which certain scholars of both races, who had
     previously been ambivalent about being identified
     as specialists in the field, now reversed
(10) themselves.
        Thus Frenise Logan, returning to an academic
     career, decided to attempt to publish his doctoral
     dissertation on blacks in late nineteenth-century
     North Carolina. A 1960 award encouraged him to
(15) do further research, and his expanded The Negro
      in North Carolina, 1876-1894 appeared in 1964.
      It is true that as late as 1963 a white professor
      advised John W. Blassingame to avoid black his-
      tory if he wanted to have "a future in the historic
(20) cal profession." Yet more indicative of how
     things were going was that 1964-65 marked a
     turning point for two of Kenneth Stampp’s former
     students—Nathan Huggins and Leon Litwack.
     The changing intellectual milieu seems to have
(25) permitted Huggins, whose original intention of
     specializing in African and Afro-American his-
     tory had been overruled by practical concerns, to
     move into what became his long-range commit-
     ment to the field. By 1965 when his interest in
(30) intellectual history found expression in the idea of
     doing a book on the Harlem Renaissance, the fac-
     tors that earlier would have discouraged him from
     such a study had dissipated. For Litwack the
     return to Negro history was an especially vivid
(35) experience, and he recalls the day he spoke at the
     University of Rochester, lecturing on Jacksonian
     democracy. Some students in the audience, sens-
     ing that his heart was just not in that topic, urged
     him to undertake research once again in the field
(40) to which he had already contributed so signifi-
     cantly. He settled on the study that became Been
     in the Storm So Long (1979). In short, both !
     Huggins and Litwack now felt able to dismiss the
     professional considerations that had loomed so
(45) large in their earlier decision to work in other spe-
     claltles and to identify themselves with what had
     hitherto been a marginal field of inquiry. [br] The passage suggests that Bennett’s work was similar to Logan’s work in which of the following ways? Ⅰ. Both Bennett’s and Logan’s books recorded a then relatively unfamiliar aspect of Afro-American history. Ⅱ. Both Bennett’s and Logan’s work were designed to appeal to a primarily academic audience. Ⅲ. Both Bennett’s and Logan’s work were pub-lished in a variety of formats.
