Why was Birmingham chosen as the site for a major civil rights campaign?

History
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:  B) It was one of the most segregated cities in America.

Details:  In point of fact, Birmingham was known by reputation as "the most segregated city in America."  In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that he  had come to Birmingham because injustice existed there, in the same way that Old Testament prophets had left their own towns and villages to go and confront injustice in other towns in their day.

Birmingham also became a central point of focus because of a tragedy that had occurred there.  In September, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was bombed in an act of terrorism by Ku Klux Klan members. Four black girls (ages 11-14) were killed, and and fourteen other persons at the church were injured.  The bombing in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A)  It was used to influence public opinion</em>

Explanation:

In 1898, a conflict arose between Spain and the United States which was termed as Spanish- American war.

In the late 1890's journalists, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst used yellow journalism to influence and agitate the public of United States against Spain.

The correct answer is: "The development of symmetry and balance in architecture"

Ancient Greek architecture is distinguished by its highly standardized features, both in structure and decoration. This is particularly true in the case of temples where each building seems to have been conceived as a sculptural entity within the landscape, most often raised on a high ground so that the elegance of its proportions and the effects of light on its surfaces can See yourself from all angles.

The architecture of Ancient Rome emerged from that of Greece and maintained its influence in Italy uninterrupted to this day. From the Renaissance, revivals of classicism have kept alive not only the precise forms and ordered the details of Greek architecture, but also their concept of architectural beauty based on balance and proportion. The successive styles of Renaissance architecture and neoclassical architecture followed and adapted ancient Greek styles more or less faithfully.
