To determine which sentence has correct capitalization, you need to follow the rules of capitalization for proper nouns and titles.
1. Sentence a. is correct because it correctly capitalizes "African-American" as a proper noun and does not capitalize "theater" and "art" unnecessarily.
2. Sentence a. is correct because it correctly capitalizes "Reconstruction" as a proper noun and does not capitalize "twenty-two" and "African Americans" unnecessarily.
3. Sentence a. is correct because it correctly capitalizes "South," "African Americans," and "Reconstruction" as proper nouns and does not unnecessarily capitalize "state," "governments," and "the."
4. Sentence a. is correct because it correctly capitalizes "African-American," "South Carolina," "whites," "state," "senate," and "governorship" as proper nouns and does not unnecessarily capitalize "political," "leaders," "greatest," "influence," "although," and "maintained."
Therefore, the correct sentences are:
1. a.
2. a.
