Question

I wasn’t frightened at the jail. I was more resigned than anything else. I don’t recall being real angry, not enough to have an argument. I was just prepared to accept whatever I had to face. I asked again if I could make a telephone call. I was ignored.

This excerpt is probably more accurate than other accounts of the same event because the reader learns about Rosa Parks from

a friend of hers.
her own perspective.
the point of view of a historian.
leaders of the desegregation movement.

Answer 1

Her own perspective.

The excerpt is written in first person ("I wasn’t frightened…"), so the reader is hearing Rosa Parks describe her own feelings and experience.
