Read the excerpt from "My First March.”
"Hey, Mama?” I asked. "How can all these buses be going to the same place we’re going? I’ve never seen a building that could hold this many people.”
"Well, we’re not going to a building,” Mama said. "We’re going to a march today. That means we’ll be walking through the streets all over our nation’s capital.”
Now read the excerpt from "2000 Buses.”
Two thousand buses,
Twenty-one chartered trains,
Ten special airlines,
More cars than one could name
A mass meeting they called it,
The March for Jobs and Freedom
Equal access, Equal justice,
For all, and not just some
What event do both excerpts describe?
a vacation by bus
a spring festival
a civil rights rally
an employment fair
