Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon on February 21st, 1933, in Tryon, North Carolina. Her mother, Mary Kate Irvin, was a Methodist preacher and housekeeper, and her father, John Divine Waymon, worked as an entertainer, barber, and dry-cleaner. The family’s home was filled with music and Simone’s mother encouraged her musical pursuits but she did not approve of nonreligious music like blues and jazz. Simone took up the piano before her feet could reach the pedals, and by the age of six, she was playing during church services.
In 2008, Rolling Stone named Simone to its list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, and, in 2018, Simone was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está correta porque a expressão "civil rights activist" é uma collocation natural em inglês, ou seja, as palavras se combinam de forma comum e fluente na língua. Ao substituir por "activist for the civil rights", a frase soa estranha e menos idiomática, já que essa construção não é a que os falantes nativos normalmente utilizam. Portanto, a mudança proposta violaria o uso adequado da linguagem, confirmando que a expressão original é a mais apropriada.
