Answer:

The answer here is D. This case was wild because essentially he was the 'Rosa Parks' before Rosa Parks, if you understand what i mean. People with even a tiny bit of heritage were supposed to use the colored rail cars, restrooms, and even cafe's. None of which were nearly as nice as the white ones.
