What is the author's purpose for including the allusion to W.E.B. DuBois' short story "Of the Coming of John" from The Souls of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The author's purpose is to highlight the persistence of racism.

Explanation:

The short story "Of the Coming of John" shows how even if a black citizen is well educated, educated and promotes the good of society, with progressive attitudes and actions, he will always be seen as inferior to white citizens, because when the population looks for him, she will see him only as a black man.

When the author quotes this short story, he wants to emphasize this theme and provoke people's reflection on the racist concepts they encourage.
