Which statement below best expresses the the purpose of this paragraph within the ? to show that he is understanding of their struggles to show that he is understanding of their struggles to emphasize the urgency for the audience to act to emphasize the urgency for the audience to act to stress his his views about desegregation to stress his his views about desegregation to support his belief in the principle of the audiences' "somebodiness" to support his belief in the principle of the audiences' "somebodiness"
