Reread this passage from a secondary source about Rosa Parks and Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott. Parks was not the first person to engage in this act of civil disobedience.
Earlier that year, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus. She was arrested, but local civil rights leaders were concerned that she was too young and poor to be a sympathetic plaintiff to challenge segregation.
Parks—a middle-class, well-respected civil rights activist—was the ideal candidate.
Just a few days after Parks's arrest, activists announced plans for the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
The boycott, which officially began December 5, 1955, did not support just Parks but countless other African Americans who had been arrested for the same reason.

A)What additional research question is suggested by this passage?

B)Why did Rosa Parks' arrest seem like the ideal case for inspiring the boycott?

C)Why did local leaders consider Claudette Colvin a less sympathetic plaintiff?

D)When and how did the Montgomery Bus Boycott officially begin?

E)What other African-Americans were arrested for defying segregation laws?
