Read the excerpt from a flyer distributed in 1956. Why were guidelines like these necessary during the
civil rights movement?
This is a historic week because segregation on buses
has now been declared unconstitutional. Within a few
days the Supreme Court Mandate will reach
Montgomery and you will be
reboarding integrated buses. This places upon us all a
tremendous responsibility of maintaining, in face of what
could be some unpleasantness, a calm and loving
dignity befitting good citizens and members of our Race.
If there is violence in word or deed it must not be our
people who commit it.
Now for some specific suggestions:
1. The bus driver is in charge of the bus and has been
instructed to obey the law. Assume that he will cooperate
in helping you occupy any vacant seat.
2. Do not deliberately sit by a white person, unless there
is no other seat.
O White people had not used bus transportation before
this time.
O Racial tensions were high due to the end of the
Montgomery Bus Boycott.
O Bus drivers had not been trained to diffuse tense
situations.
O African Americans had instigated several violent
encounters during the boycott.

answer: i looked it up

explanation: in 1955 in montgomery, alabama, a girl refused to give up her seat on a public bus. the girl was black, and the passenger looking to take her seat was white. this is a familiar tale, but it's not about rosa parks. the girl in the story is a 15-year-old high school student named claudette colvin, and this act of defiance occurred nine months before rosa parks did the same thing. colvin was arrested, and her case is what led to the u.s. supreme court's order for the desegregation of alabama's bus system. so, why don't we know colvin's name? "later i had a child born out of wedlock; i became pregnant when i was 16," colvin says. "and i didn't fit the image either, of, you know, someone they would want to show off.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
