Answer: B Gilmore's role in the Civil Rights Movement grew over time, as she inspired others and became well-known by activists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Georgia Gilmore was an amazing woman who helped the Montgomery Bus Boycott more than most will ever know. In-between working and caring for her six children she managed to raise funds for the movement to ensure that the boycott continued for over a year.

When she lost her job, she used her house as a makeshift restaurant that fed so many. This meant that her role in the movement kept increasing and this inspired others. She became well known by activists and by others as well because even Governor Wallace who had championed segregation, ate at her restaurant.
