Read this line from vice president lyndon b. johnson's "memorial day" speech.

we do not answer him—we do not answer those who lie beneath this soil—when we reply to the negro by asking, “patience.”

what does johnson claim the african american is asking for, and how do we answer him?

a. he asks for equal rights, and we refuse to grant them.

b. he asks for justice, and we tell him to give us more time.

c. he asks for peace, and we tell him it's already been granted.

d. he asks for us to remember gettysburg, and we answer with empty speeches.
