Answer:

The mother in the poem was a shielding, protective, and loving mom who wanted her baby girl to be safe, while the daughter was a brave, spirited, and submissive girl who wanted to participate in a protest

Explanation:

Ballad of Birmingham is a poem written by Dudley Randall to describe the horrific incident that occurred in 1963 when the Baptist church in Birmingham was bombed. The mother is an African-American woman who loved her child and was so protective of her. The child asked to be allowed to join the protest in the streets of Birmingham which was a brave demand but her mom who was so scared of the arms that would be used in the protest refused her.

She rather told her to go to the church and sing in the children's choir where she would be safe. The little girl obeyed but was unfortunately among the four girls that were killed when the church was bombed.
