klemol [59]

The answer is D: The practice of a new philosophy called Enlightened Thinking.

Answer:

B. “the charges were laughable” (Paragraph 20)

Explanation:

Thes question refers to the article "A Child Of Slavery Who Thought A Generation" which tells the story of Anna Cooper.

She was, amongst other things, a principal and a teacher in first public high school for black students. Her work was amazing and very inspirational, which obviously bothered some people which led to a scandal ginned up against her.

The word "ginned up" means that something was started, agitated, increased or generated in a dubious manner and with dishonest purpose. This means that accusations were made only to throw dirt on her, without any factual evidence.

The sentence that best supports this is "the charges were laughable".

Although many prominent people stood in her defence, Cooper had to resign her principal's post due to the scandal and public pressure.

How does the author illustrate the idea of nonviolent protest?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Nonviolence is the personal practice of being harmless to self and others under every condition. It comes from the belief that hurting people, animals or the environment is unnecessary to achieve an outcome and refers to a general philosophy of abstention from violence.

Explanation: Drawing inspiration from both his Christian faith and the peaceful teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. King led a nonviolent movement in the late 1950s and '60s to achieve legal equality for African-Americans in the United States.

He sought to raise the public consciousness of racism, to end racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. While his goal was racial equality, King plotted out a series of smaller objectives that involved local grassroots campaigns for equal rights for African Americans.
