There have been numerous pivotal points in American history for equality and basic human rights. Some of the greatest influences in how we function today, equally and safely, come from cases and people such as: The Brown vs Board of Education case, Sojourner Truth, and Rosa Parks.
The Brown vs Board of Education case happened in 1954 in Topeka, Kansas. This was a huge turning point for African Americans who face segregation in American public schools. The outcome found that segregation in schools was a violation of the 14th commandment, and was unconstitutional.
Sojourner Truth was an African American women born in 1797; as well as a feminist and women's rights activist. She was born into slavery, but eventually escaped with her new born daughter in the year of 1826. She fought very hard for the cause(s) that he believed in until her death in 1883.
Rosa Parks is a well know African american women who is often referred to as "the first lady of civil rights". She took part in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, (1955), in which she refused to move to the back of the bus because of her race. She went to jail, but stayed active in the equal rights movent(s) once out.
America, as well as a lot of the world, has come incredibly far since these times of segregation. We have all of these moments in history (and more!) to show for it.

It could mean either that she got angry or fell in love or anything similar.

The type of poem "anyone lived in a pretty how town" is narrative. Ballad is a poem or song that is narrated in short stanzas, while acrostic is a type of poem where certain letters spell out a phrase or word. E.E narrates the life of anyone living in pretty how town beautifully, so I'd say narrative.
False. "In a Station of the Metro" is an iconic Imagist poem, but is more considered as the first haiku, even though it lacks the structure of a traditional haiku.
