Carlotta's Journey to Justice I At what point do you think Carlotta truly began her journey to justice? What were some of the trials she encountered? Who were her greatest helpers during the hardest parts of her journey?​

She first entered the unknown when she visited New York City as an eight year old. People who influenced her in the beginning of her journey include her teachers at Dunbar and her family. Rosa Parks, her “she-ro,” and the bus boycotts also influence her.Carlotta is shocked about the segregation of public spaces and communities in the nation's capital because she is still holding idealistic beliefs about the power of the democracy in the United States.
