Answer:

a. People must be defiant and steadfast in order to overcome injustice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harriet Tubman was an African American woman who worked hard for the abolition of the slavery system. Although she was born into slavery, she escaped and began working hard to free others, help others escape too.

The lines in the question are from the poem "Harriet Tubman" by Eloise Greenfield. The 5 stanza poem talks of her bravery and pride in doing what she can to help free other slaves. These particular lines

"Didn’t come in this world to be no slave

And didn’t stay one either

And didn’t stay one either"

shows the theme of defiance and steadfastness for anyone who wished to overcome injustice.
