Answer 1

Kwan cites the 1909 foundation of the NAACP and the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision as evidence that the civil rights movement began earlier than commonly thought.

This correct answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

The two examples Kwan provides to support her claim that the civil rights movement started before most people think are B. The foundation of the NAACP in 1909 and A. Plessy v.

Ferguson in 1896. The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was established by Black leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois and White advocates in 1909 as a response to the systemic racism and discrimination faced by African Americans.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the doctrine of 'separate but equal', which would later serve as a catalyst for civil rights activists to push for equality and justice, setting the stage for future legal challenges to segregation.
