Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

It is difficult to say exactly when a social movement begins or ends. Usually, a movement's ideas or tactics precede the actual mobilization of people and continue long after the movement's driving force has been replaced by new ideals and techniques. This description applies to the civil rights movement and its successor: the continuing struggle for African American freedom. Before 1954, there were some confrontations of White supremacy: the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) sit-ins of 1942 and efforts to desegregate buses in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1953 . The civil rights movement gained momentum with a Supreme Court decision in 1954 that eventually desegregated the public schools, and it ended as a major force in Black America with the civil disorders of 1965 through 1968 . However, beginning in 1954, toppling the traditional barriers to full rights for Blacks was the rule, not the exception.
