From the Supreme Court case Plessy V. Ferguson, 1896: It is true that the question of the proportion of colored blood necessary

to constitute a colored person, as distinguished from a white person, is one upon which there is a difference of opinion in the different states; some holding that any visible admixture of black blood stamps the person as belonging to the colored race (State v. Chavers, 5 Jones [N. C.] 1); others, that it depends upon the preponderance of blood ( Gray v. State, 4 Ohio, 354; Monroe v. Collins, 17 Ohio St. 665); and still others, that the predominance of white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths (People v. Dean, 14 Mich. 406; Jones v. Com., 80 Va. 544). But these are questions to be determined under the laws of each state, and are not properly put in issue in this case. Under the allegations of his petition, it may undoubtedly become a question of importance whether, under the laws of Louisiana, the petitioner belongs to the white or colored race. What point is made in this document regarding perception of a person's race?
A) It is best to define race in a very stringent way, to avoid confusion.

B) Nobody is in agreement about what race means, but everyone thinks it is important.

C) There is a general consensus that if a person appears black, he is black, and if he appears white, he is white.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

The excerpt specifically says that what defines a person as being black "is a difference of opinion in the different states." In NC "any visible admixture of black blood" defines a person as a black person. In OH, "it depends upon the preponderance of blood. In Michigan and Virginia, "white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths".  This shows that there is not a best way to define race. Also, B is not correct because Michigan and Virginia use the same definition so they are in agreement at least. Option C is not correct because some states do not agree with this.

Answer:

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

Answer:

D. Five young girls were killed at the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

Explanation:

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was an act of white supremacist terrorism that occurred on September 15, 1963, in Birmingham, Alabama. Before Sunday morning services at the 16th Street Baptist Church, a church visited by mostly black churchgoers, a bomb went off, killing <u>four</u> young girls were killed and injuring 22 others. The church also served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders. This violent incident helped draw national attention to the fight for civil rights for African Americans and served as a turning point, contributing to support for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
