Explanation:
On 25 March 1965, Martin Luther King led thousands of nonviolent demonstrators to the steps of the capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, after a 5-day, 54-mile march from Selma, Alabama, where local African Americans, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) had been campaigning for voting rights. King told the assembled crowd: “There never was a moment in American history more honorable and more inspiring than the pilgrimage of clergymen and laymen of every race and faith pouring into Selma to face danger at the side of its embattled Negroes” (King, Address at the Conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery March, 121).
On 2 January 1965 King and SCLC joined SNCC, the Dallas County Voters League, and other local African American activists in a voting rights campaign in Selma where, in spite of repeated registration attempts by local blacks, only two percent were on the voting rolls. SCLC had chosen to focus its efforts in Selma because they anticipated that the notorious brutality of local law enforcement under Sheriff Jim Clark would attract national attention and pressure President Lyndon B. Johnson and Congress to enact new national voting rights legislation. sorry this took me awhile.... But hope it helps :)

Answer:
Explanation:
1. What or who do the people underneath the tracks represent?
The farmers' plight ( the farmers problem) shows that the farmer is at the mercy of the railroad and that the farmer is trying to warn the businessman (investors) but as you see with the one who is reading the paper no one is paying the farmer any attention. The people being held down by the tracks don't seem to care.
2. Why do you think the cartoonist portrayed the tracks in this way?
Because the tracks are cutting through the farmland causing "The Farmers Plight" (plight=problem). The railroads caused the prices of their crops to drop, the farmers had to mortgage out their farms to buy more land to produce more crops (still bringing in less money), banks were foreclosing, the land took a huge hit and became less sustainable for crops and while all of the hardship fell on the "normal" folk/farm folk the railroads were monopolizing off of the hardship.
That they worked together to create a powerful nation
