Read the excerpt from "Flight into Yesterday." This leg was also the most dangerous of the entire trip. Howland, 2,600 miles to

the east, was a tiny speck of land in the middle of the vast Pacific. It would take all of her skill as a pilot and Fred’s as a navigator to find the island. But danger did not worry her. She knew that flying carried risks. She faced them and accepted them. What mattered was setting herself a challenge and meeting it. What mattered was showing that women could do what men could do and encouraging other women to do what they were capable of. That was why she was flying over the Pacific, looking for a speck of land. Fame was never her goal. The important thing was to do what she had set out to do and to do it as well as she knew how. She had been that way all her life. Amelia Earhart, world-famous flier, was very much like the young girl who once lived in Atchison, Kansas. Which detail in the excerpt supports the central idea that Amelia Earhart was a pioneer? a) She worked with a navigator named Fred Noonan who flew with her. b) She never intended to become a famous person; it just happened. c) She wanted to show that women could do what men could do. d) She spent her childhood in a city called Atchison in Kansas.

Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan however disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island during an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight in 1937.

Which of these best describes the official status of African Americans in the United States during World War I
Fed [463]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Separate but equal" best describes the official status of African Americans in the United States during World War I.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The supreme court of United States permitted states to segregate people of color by applying earlier laws on civil rights, when African Americans knocked at supreme court to protect their rights under the constitution.

A new Louisiana law in 1890 needed railroads to give "equal but separate accommodations on the basis of colored races" this blasted the New Orleans' black community therefore "Plessy v. Ferguson" case got stand and decision of supreme court came as  "separate but equals". Plessy is commonly refereed as one of the worst decisions in the U.S. History of the Supreme Court. Later series of decisions came which overruled the "separate but equal" as found unconstitutional like "1954 case Brown v. Board of Education".
