History

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.

Many people, like Nader and Buchanan, opposed the ratification of NAFTA. How might that have influenced what Clinton said in his
Ugo [173]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

During the times of NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement between México, Canada, and the United States, many people opposed the treaty and questioned President Bill Clinton about it.

Nader and Buchanan opposed the ratification of NAFTA. This influenced what Clinton said in his speech of September 14, 1993. On that day, President Clinton signed two supplements that were included in the Free Trade Agreement.

President Clinton’s speech addressed the arguments against NAFTA that Nader and Buchanan made in that hehe said it was not true that the trade meant just moving out jobs from the US to México. And he clearly explained that Mexicans with lower income than Germans or Europeans spent more in US products, more than those Europeans and Canadians.
