Answer:
B. No women were allowed to speak at the 1963 March on Washington.
Explanation:
<u>Pauli Murray was civil rights and women’s rights activist that was fighting for the rights of African-American women. </u>
<u>In the wake of the historical March on Washington in 1963. she was angry at the organizers (Martin Luther King, Jr., A. Philip Randolph, and Bayard Rustin) that no women were included in the speeches given during the protest. </u>Suggestions about women speakers were made beforehand, but they refused to give excuses that the list of speakers was already filled.
Murrey saw this as the direct exclusion of the women from the fight and the movement. This is why she coined the term “Jane Crow” (mirroring the name of Jim Craw laws) – to underline the way gender discrimination was present in the civil rights movement as well, and how the racial and gender rights were connected.
