You suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children. What is the author’s purpose for including this sentence?

Respuesta :

The given passage above is actually quoted from MartIN Luther King Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail" in 1963. The author's purpose for including this sentence is that, the author wanted to convey to the reader that segregation must end immediately. Hope this answers your question.
