Which of the following is an example of a free space?

A) Black churches during the civil rights movement
B) Farmers' groups that press the national government for tax advantages

Free spaces are environments where individuals can freely express their opinions, ideas, and strategies away from the direct control of dominant groups. Black churches during the civil rights movement served as such spaces, where activists could organize, strategize, and support each other in their fight for civil rights, away from the oppressive oversight of the broader society.
