Answer:
Joe Louis: Joe Louis held the heavyweight title for 140 consecutive months, the longest such streak in boxing history. Many people regarded him as the first black national hero. He also fought two internationally publicized bouts.
Jesse Owens: During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Adolf Hitler attempted to use the Games as a showcase for his Third Reich and the supposed superiority of the Aryan race.
After winning the Olympics, some of the personal aspects of his discrimination were slowly released. Owens could then eat the all-white restaurants, and travel with the whites as well. But this didn’t happen all at once. In fact, his National achievements were still looked down upon. Whether being the most successful man in the world, Owens was still a black man, and black men were only seen through the eyes of the white as slaves. However, keep in mind, that it was quite rare for black people to be granted this right.
Happy learning!

B. only the mexican war of independence eliminated spanish colonial control over part of North America
Explanation:
The oldest of eight children, Ida B. Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Her parents, who were very active in the Republican Party during Reconstruction, died in a yellow fever epidemic in the late 1870s. Wells attended Rust College and then became a teacher in Memphis, Tennessee. Shortly after she arrived, Wells was involved in an altercation with a white conductor while riding the railroad. She had purchased a first-class ticket, and was seated in the ladies car when the conductor ordered her to sit in the Jim Crow (i.e. black) section, which did not offer first-class accommodations. She refused and when the conductor tried to remove her, she "fastened her teeth on the back of his hand." Wells was ejected from the train, and she sued. She won her case in a lower court, but the decision was reversed in an appeals court.
