(A) partisan disputes (B) legacies of racial segregation (C) limitations of the democratic order (D) traditions of religious puritanism


Question 03 - FATEC 2016 - Throughout history, the Olympic Games have served as a setting for various manifestations, individual or collective, of a political nature. Accessed:11.14.2015. This image depicts the African-American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, at an emblematic moment in the history of the modern Olympics, which took place at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, in 1968. According to the historical context of the image presented, it is correct to say that the athletes a) participated in a large demonstration against apartheid racial policy in South Africa. b) paid tribute to the eleven Israeli sportsmen murdered by Palestinian terrorists. c) saluted the Black Panthers, a group that fought for the civil rights of black Americans. d) protested against the Nazi policy of Adolf Hitler, who watched the competition from one of the stands of the stadium. e) participated in the biggest boycott in the history of the Olympic Games, led by the United States, against the Soviet Union.
Question 04 - UFPR 2018 - Read the following excerpt from intellectual and activist Angela Davis:Proof of the accumulated strengths that black women have forged through work, work and more work can be found in the contributions of many important leaders who have emerged within the black community. Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Ida Wells, and Rosa Parks are not exceptional Black women in that they are epitomes of the Black woman's condition. Black women, however, paid a heavy price for the strengths they acquired and the relative independence they enjoyed. Although they were rarely “just housewives”, they always performed household chores. (DAVIS, Angela. Women, race and class. São Paulo:Boitempo, 2016, p. 5253-5259 [kindle edition].) Regarding the Civil Rights movement in the US, consider the following statements: 1. The famous March on Washington for Labor and Freedom of 1963 was marked by the important participation of black women with a discourse that privileged the role of blacks in relation to whites. 2. Female participation in the marches, boycotts and street demonstrations that marked the 1960s in the US had gender equality as its main demand. 3. Rosa Parks appears in the excerpt above thanks to two issues. The first, due to the fact that she was an ordinary black woman, who had her double assignment of work. The second, specifically for occupying this role, is that his act of civil disobedience was more impactful than that of other leaders. 4 . The relative independence of black women comes from problems with the risk condition in which their male companions lived, since it was very common for them to be incarcerated or to suffer other types of violence. In this sense, the independence of black women in the US was a symptom of inequality between blacks and whites. Check the correct alternative. a) Only statement 3 is true. b) Only statements 2 and 4 are true. c) Only statements 3 and 4 are true. d) Only statements 1, 2 and 3 are true. e) Statements 1, 2, 3 and 4 are true.

Rosa Parks.
On December 1, 1955, seamstress Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, as required by state laws. Informed by the driver that she would end up arrested, the woman preferred to be taken to jail - and later, to trial. His conviction by the jury led to the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association. The presidency of the entity was handed over to Pastor Martin Luther King. On the day of Rosa Parks' conviction, King addressed a crowd gathered outside Holt Street Baptist Church:“I want to assure everyone that we will work to ensure justice prevails on city buses. If we're wrong, this nation's Supreme Court is wrong. If we are wrong, the US Constitution is wrong. If we are wrong, Almighty God is wrong.” Adapted from Vejaabril.com.br.
