Which sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women’s Right to Vote” reveals the purpose of the speech? Friends and

fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny. The preamble of the Federal Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

in what way does john's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist ?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadows his quality of being a civil rights activist.

Explanation:

"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" is a book written by Jabari Asim, portraying the life of young John Lewis.

After John Lewis began to take care of the chickens on his farm, he took it as an opportunity to hone his preaching. He began to consider the chickens on farm as his congregation. When his parents would take chickens to kill and cook them, he would refuse to eat chicken and would not talk to his parents. He asserts that this form of showing disapproval marked a beginning in his life as a non-violent protesters. So, in this way, John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist. He, at an early age, began to defend those who were not able to speak for themselves.
