Answer 1

Lyndon B. Johnson is arguing against segregation by emphasizing the principles of equality and justice. He asserts that the phrase "All men are created equal" is not just a theory but a promise that every citizen should share in the dignity of man. This dignity is not dependent on possessions, power, or position but on the right to be treated as an equal. Johnson argues that denying a man his hopes based on color, race, religion, or birth is an injustice and a dishonor to those who died for American freedom.The quote that stands out the most is: "To apply any other test-to deny a man his hopes because of his color or race, his religion or the place of his birth-is not only to do injustice it is to deny America and to dishonor the dead who gave their lives for American freedom." This quote powerfully encapsulates the moral and ethical arguments against segregation and highlights the sacrifices made for the ideals of freedom and equality.
