which quote from the text best supports the idea that claudette colvin and rosa parks are just two women who were used as symbols for a movement?
○ \most people know about parks and the montgomery, ala., bus boycott... but few know that there were a number of women who refused to give up their seats on the same bus system.\ (paragraph 2)
○ \and then i got scared, and panic come over me, and i started crying. then i started saying the lords prayer, she says.\ (paragraph 11)
○ \can you imagine all of that in my mind? my head was just too full of black history, you know, the oppression that we went through.\ (paragraph 9)
○ \two police officers put her in handcuffs and arrested her. her school books went flying off her lap.\ (paragraph 5)

Explanation:

This quote establishes that Rosa Parks is a well-known figure of the Montgomery bus boycott, while also noting Claudette Colvin is one of the lesser-known women who took the same action, framing both as symbols of the movement. The other quotes focus on Colvin's personal experience of the event, not the comparison of her and Parks as movement symbols.

Answer:

"Most people know about Parks and the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott... but few know that there were a number of women who refused to give up their seats on the same bus system." (Paragraph 2)
