Most people think of Rosa Parks as the first person to refuse to give up their seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. There were actually several women who came before her; one of whom was Claudette Colvin.

It was March 2, 1955, when the fifteen-year-old schoolgirl refused to move to the back of the bus, nine months before Rosa Parks’ stand that launched the Montgomery bus boycott. Claudette had been studying Black leaders like Harriet Tubman in her segregated school, those conversations had led to discussions around the current day Jim Crow laws they were all experiencing. When the bus driver ordered Claudette to get up, she refused, “It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn't get up."

The night before the march, Dr. King began working on his speech with a small group of advisers in the lobby of the Willard Hotel. The original speech was more political and less historic, according to Clarence B. Jones, and it did not include any reference to dreams. After delivering the now famous line, “we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream,” Dr. King transformed his speech into a sermon.

Onstage near Dr. King, singer Mahalia Jackson reportedly kept saying, “Tell ‘em about the dream, Martin,” and while no one will know if he heard her, it could likely have been the inspiration he needed.

One in four cowboys was Black, despite the stories told in popular books and movies.

In fact, it's believed that the real “Lone Ranger” was inspired by an African American man named Bass Reeves. Reeves had been born a slave but escaped West during the Civil War where he lived in what was then known as Indian Territory. He eventually became a Deputy U.S. Marshal, was a master of disguise, an expert marksman, had a Native American companion, and rode a silver horse. His story was not unique however.

Answer:

In lines 1-11, Carle has been described as an accomplished photo journalist.

Explanation:

"And of Clay Are We Created" is a short story written by Isabel Allende.

In the opening lines of the story, the narrator describes Carle, her lover, as a successful journalist. <u>This can be </u><u>inferred</u><u> when Carle is seen arriving at the scene of the rescue on a helicopter. His arrival on helicopter tells that he has earned that reputation and honor by working diligently on his previous assignments</u>. He was the first one to arrive at the scene, while others struggled through mudslides and corpses buried in it.

The story begins with a girl named Azucena being buried neck-deep in a mud pit. Because of the volcanic eruption, the ice started melting which left many people in Latin America buried in the mud pit.

Rolf Carle is there on the scene to capture, where he was about to find something that he lost thirty years ago.

<em>" And every time we saw her on the screen, right  behind her was Rolf Carlé, who had gone there on assignment,  never suspecting that he would find a fragment of his past, lost  thirty years before. "</em>
