Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) (06.03|06.04 MC) Read the article "An American Leader: Martin Luther King, Jr." and a

nswer the question. Bus Boycott On December 1, 1955, 42-year-old Rosa Parks took a bus home from her workplace in Montgomery, Alabama. She sat in the first row of the "colored" section. When the bus filled up, the driver demanded that Parks give her seat to one of the white men who was standing. Parks refused and was arrested. That same night, Martin Luther King, Jr. met with other local civil rights leaders and planned a citywide bus boycott. King was elected to lead the boycott. He was seen as an upstanding citizen who could make a real difference. The bus boycott lasted for 382 days. Most of Montgomery's African American community walked, rode bicycles, or carpooled to avoid taking the bus. They often faced harassment and violence from angry fellow citizens. King's home was fire-bombed during the boycott, but he did not give up. He launched a legal campaign against racial segregation laws. On June 4, 1956, the laws were overturned. African Americans would now be allowed to sit where they liked, like all other Americans. The Montgomery Bus Boycott propelled Martin Luther King to the forefront of the national civil rights movement. Peaceful Protests In 1957, Martin Luther King, Jr. founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference so that he could continue to help organize and conduct more nonviolent protests for civil rights. He traveled around the country speaking about race relations and joined in many peaceful protests. He was arrested a number of times during these years. King was arrested once for joining students at a sit-in protest at a department store that refused to serve lunch to African Americans. In the spring of 1963, King was arrested again during a demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama. King had been peacefully protesting alongside many families. March to Make a Difference In August of 1963, King helped to organize the March on Washington. There, he spoke to over 200,000 people from the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial. He delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech where he declared his hope that all Americans would one day be seen as equals. King's speech helped to bring about change to America's laws. In 1964, King was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his fight against racial inequality. © Britannica Image Quest Leaving a Legacy Martin Luther King, Jr. continued to work for social justice through the 1960s. He visited many cities to speak about how ordinary people could bring about important social change through peaceful protesting. Sadly, after one such speech, King was assassinated while standing on a balcony outside of his hotel room. This terrible event occurred on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. King's life had a vast impact on civil rights in the United States. He is still known as one of the most important leaders in American history. His life and work are honored in many ways, including a national holiday, and many schools and public buildings are named after him. In fact, more than 900 cities have a road named after Martin Luther King, Jr. His inspiring legacy continues. Select the reason the author included this image of King at the March on Washington. To show how many people came to the march To prove his speech has endured over the years To support the claim that King leaves a legacy To explain how King raised an arm when speaking
