The fact that Italy is shaped like a boot made it a good place for ships to stop because a lot of cities were on the water, and cities were a perfect place to sell or trade goods. Hope it help!
Summary of the Passage:
The Albany Movement was a movement against segregation policies in Albany and was supported by the SNCC, NAACP, and SCLC. Martin Luther King's goal was to advise people rather than join in on the movement but he was arrested during a demonstration for 45 days and a fine. He was released three days later during an attempt to cause change by choosing jail time but the movement would end a year later without achieving its goals to end segregation policies in Albany.
