The correct answer is:

Publishers would start printing stories in which African Americans are the main characters.

In her essay "What White Publishers Won't Print," Zora Neale Hurston addresses the lack of common black people portrayed in literature and movies. In it, she wrote about the significance of a realistic portrayal of society’s marginalized groups such as African Americans.
