Question 12 • United States History and Geography

How were the initial sit-ins during the Birmingham Campaign of 1963 received?

Answer
A
Many people complained to the police about them.
B
Many people responded violently.
C
Many people paid little attention to them.
D
Many people supported them.

Explanation

The first sit-ins in Birmingham drew relatively little public attention and did not immediately prompt the dramatic response organizers hoped for. This is why the campaign later expanded to marches and other direct actions that brought more attention to segregation. The correct choice is “Many people paid little attention to them.”
