which detail from the text best supports the idea that civil rights groups didnt think claudette colvin was the right face for the movement?
○ \after colvins arrest, she found herself shunned by parts of her community. she experienced various difficulties and became pregnant.\ (paragraph 21)
○ \she hardly ever told her story when she moved to new york city. in her new community, hardly anyone was talking about integration\ (paragraph 16)
○ \the real reality of the movement was often young people and often more than 50 percent women. the images you most often see are men in suits.\ (paragraph 23)
○ \colvin says the naacp and all the other black organizations felt parks would be a good icon because she was an adult. they didnt think teenagers would be reliable.\ (paragraph 17)

Explanation:

This option directly states that civil rights groups (like the NAACP) rejected Claudette Colvin as a representative because they believed a teen (her) was not reliable, while an adult (Rosa Parks) was a better icon for the movement, which directly supports the claim that they didn't see her as the right face. The other options discuss her community shunning her, her silence in NY, or the movement's demographics, which do not directly address the civil rights groups' view of her as an unsuitable representative.

Answer:

"Colvin says the NAACP and all the other black organizations felt Parks would be a good icon because 'she was an adult. They didn't think teenagers would be reliable.'" (Paragraph 17)
