Question

read the excerpt from \my first march.\
\hey, mama?\ i asked. \how can all these buses be going to the same place we’re going? i’ve never seen a building that could hold this many people.\
\well, we’re not going to a building,\ mama said.
\we’re going to a march today. that means we’ll be walking through the streets all over our nation’s capital.\
now read the excerpt from \2000 buses.\
two thousand buses,
twenty - one chartered trains,
ten special airlines,
more cars than one could name
a mass meeting they called it,
the march for jobs and freedom
equal access, equal justice,
for all, and not just some
what event do both excerpts describe?
○ a vacation by bus
○ a spring festival
○ a civil rights rally
○ an employment fair

Explanation:

The first excerpt mentions going to a "march" in the nation's capital. The second excerpt refers to "The March for Jobs and Freedom" with themes of equal access and justice, which are civil rights issues. A civil rights rally involves marches and advocating for equal rights, matching both excerpts. A vacation by bus, spring festival, or employment fair don't align with the march and civil rights themes.

Answer:

C. a civil rights rally
