how does President Johnson define the problem in his speech?
Answers
The only clue I had as to specifically which speech of Johnson's your question refers to is your tag "The American Promise." From this, according to the LBJ Presidential Library on March 15, 1965 Johnson delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress that the library titles "The American Promise" . In the speech Johnson stated, "Wednesday I will send to Congress a law designed to eliminate illegal barriers to the right to vote," so it appears that the correct answer to your question is "D. He wants to pass a law that will eliminate all restrictions to voting and make voting discrimination practices illegal."
A. He gives many examples of injustices Negroes face with regard to equal rights.
B. He uses testimonials from people who have endured the injustices in their lives.
C. He quotes scripture, the Constitution, and a famous speech, all showing the importance of freedom.
D. He appeals to the audiences sense of patriotism, values, and understanding of the legal system.
