Read the excerpt from My Story.

Here it was, half a century after the first segregation law,
and there were 50,000 African Americans in
Montgomery. More of us rode the buses than
Caucasians did, because more whites could afford cars.
It was very humiliating having to suffer the indignity of
riding segregated buses twice a day, five days a week, to
go downtown and work for white
people.

The first-person narration in this excerpt best helps
readers understand
O facts about bus ridership.
O the anger black people felt.
O why segregation started.
O statistics about Montgomery.

The anger black people felt

By using first person narration, we get insight i to how the character actually feels about the events taking place in the story. In this case, the anger and humiliation that the black people feel toward segregation
