Question

Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation.
What is the author’s purpose for including this sentence?
to establish the suffering experienced under segregation
to define the concept of a direct action campaign
to criticize the public officials who endorse segregation
to explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts

Answer 1

Answer: to explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts.

In this excerpt, the author implies that many people have considered his efforts to stop segregation to be "badly timed." However, the author thinks that for those people who have not been victims of segregation, there is never a good time to engage in a direct action campaign. The implication is that the author is therefore unwilling to postpone his efforts.
