Select the correct text in the passage.
Read the excerpt from paragraph 3.
"My childhood was full of discussions about social issues, racial struggles, and the historical realities of oppression and inequality."
Which evidence from the passage best supports this statement?
(1) During my lifetime Black people were deeply entrenched in the struggle for voting rights. As a child of the 1960s I heard a constant emphasis on how important it was to
vote. To make our voices heard. I went with my parents to polling places when they voted, where I was surrounded by adults who grew up in the Jim Crow South and knew that
voting was not something to take for granted. At my predominantly Black elementary school on the South Side of Chicago we took part in mock elections. To this day, most
African Americans are frequently reminded about how "people died for you to have this right when referring to the racial violence experienced in the movement-experienced
by both women and men. But I rarely hear the same emphasis expressed in recounting the singularly gender-based struggles that were also faced in order to gain those rights.
(2) The messaging that I grew up hearing illustrates the dual fight that most women of color faced in the suffrage movement... Given a choice of focus, many women of color
lived through and were taught that the fight for racial equality was the priority and gaining the right to vote was a tool that could effect change in oppressive laws that
relegated them to second-class citizenship.
