Read the excerpt from My Story.

Here it was, half a century after the first segregation law, and there were 50,000 African Americans in Montgomery. More of us rode the buses than Caucasians did, because more whites could afford cars. It was very humiliating having to suffer the indignity of riding segregated buses twice a day, five days a week, to go downtown and work for white people.

The first-person narration in this excerpt best helps readers understand

facts about bus ridership.
the anger black people felt.
why segregation started.
statistics about Montgomery.

the anger black people felt.

The first-person voice emphasizes personal humiliation and indignity (e.g., "It was very humiliating..."), conveying the emotional impact of segregation more than explaining causes or just giving statistics.
