On March 2nd, 1955, a young black woman (A) was arrested for refusing to give up her
seat on a bus to a white person in Alabama. Civil rights leaders and the ACLU
(American Civil Liberties Union) rushed to her side and she would be a symbol of the
struggle against segregation. Because she was a teenager (15 years old) and became
pregnant while unmarried, it was decided by the same civil leaders and ACLU that A is
not the best foot forward (because given the social norms of the time and her youth,
they worried about using her to represent their movement) so stood down. Nine
months later, a similar event involving B occurred, and during those nine months, C got
the attention of the community and is chosen to lead the bus boycotts.

A __________ planet is a planet that falls within a star’s habitable zone and follows the __________ Principle. It is neither too close nor too far from a star to rule out liquid water on its surface and thus life on the planet. So, conditions are ‘just right’ for life to possibly be sustainable on the planet. Planets within a habitable zone that are unlikely to host life (e.g., gas giants) may also be called this.
The best example of such a planet, of course, is the Earth.
FITB.
