The correct chronological order of the key events and figures that contributed to the civil rights of contemporary Black Americans is as follows:

1. The Double V Campaign: This campaign was initiated during World War II (1942) to emphasize the necessity of fighting for democracy abroad while simultaneously fighting against racial discrimination at home. It set the stage for later civil rights activism.

2. A. Philip Randolph influenced the passing of Executive Order 8802: In 1941, A. Philip Randolph organized the March on Washington Movement, which led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802 in 1941, prohibiting racial discrimination in the defense industry and establishing the Fair Employment Practices Committee.

3. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. were influential figures in the Montgomery Bus Boycott: The boycott began in 1955 after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a prominent leader during this movement, which lasted for over a year and ultimately led to a Supreme Court decision declaring segregation on public buses unconstitutional in 1956.

4.
