True or false?
Civil rights activists in Montgomery, Ala., had never heard of Rosa Parks before she made her stand on the bus.

That's right!
Answer: B. False

Parks was well-known and well-respected in the community. That is why civil rights activists decided she was the perfect person to carry forth their cause. Montgomery activists nearly took up the cause of a 15-year-old girl who was arrested under similar circumstances earlier in the year, but they backed away when they discovered the unwed teen was pregnant.
