Then he called Jo Ann Robinson, whom he knew from the Claudette Colvin case, and Robinson, in turn, notified several fellow teachers who were members of the Women’s Political Council. "It was all happening quickly,” Gray recalled. "The mood was electric. This was the beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.”

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.


What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A- Early matches were dangerous and awkward.
B- John Walker made the first match.
C - Phosphorus was the key to the modern match.
D - Walker's match was better than what came before.

The smell of tar and salt was something new. I saw the most wonderful figureheads, that had all been far over the ocean.

Read the excerpt from Freedom Walkers by Russell Freedman.

No one moved. Blake rose from the driver’s seat and called out again: "Y’all better make it light on yourselves and let me have those seats.” Reluctantly, three of the black passengers rose and moved to the back. Rosa Parks shifted slightly to allow the man next to her to get up, but she did not move from her seat. She wasn’t sitting in the white section, and she didn’t think that she should have to give up her seat and stand in the aisle the rest of the way home. She had just spent the entire day tailoring and pressing clothes for white folks.

Excerpt 1

Shaken and alarmed, Robinson bolted to her feet and stumbled off the bus in tears, packages falling from her arms. She had made the mistake of sitting in one of the front ten seats, which were reserved for white riders only.

"I felt like a dog,” she wrote later. "And I got mad, after this was over, and I realized I was a human being, and just as intelligent and far more [educationally] trained then that bus driver was. But I think he wanted to hurt me, and he did. . . . I cried all the way to Cleveland.”

Excerpt 2

"I didn’t know what was happening,” she [Claudette Colvin] said later. "I was just angry. Like a teenager might be, I was downright angry. It felt like I was helpless.” She remained locked up at the city jail until she was bailed out later that day by the pastor of her church.

Which sentence best explains how these excerpts develop the central idea that the treatment of Black riders was emotionally harmful?

Both excerpts use the words of those affected to help support the idea.
Both excerpts use the evidence of eyewitnesses to demonstrate the idea.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Under Montgomery’s segregation laws, Claudette was in fact entitled to her seat behind the whites-only section. If no seats were available for blacks to move back to as additional white passengers boarded the bus, then they were not required to give up their seats. That was the official policy. But in actual practice, whenever a white person needed a seat, the driver would order blacks to get up and move to the back of the bus, even when they had to stand in the aisle.

What is the central idea of the excerpt?

-The segregation laws could be unfair to both Black and White bus riders.
-Bus drivers followed the segregation laws even when they were not fair.
-Black riders could be ordered to move even though it was against the law.
-The laws said Black people did not have to give their seats to white people.
