Answer:
The author's purpose is to highlight the efforts made by army recruiters in getting new recruits from schools and communities that have little enlistment of soldiers.
Explanation:
The article, 'Who are fighting American wars'? by Dave Philipps and Tim Arango, discusses the challenges faced by the army as it pertains to recruitment. The army noticed that there was a skewed attribute in the number of people applying to be soldiers, most coming from the same communities, or families where a parent or relative was once a soldier. The authors noted that such a challenge would not help the army who needs more recruits.
The subheading, 'Recruiting in new places', highlights the efforts made by the military recruiters, to first understand the challenge as seen in the visit of the Army Secretary Ryan D. McCarthy who visited officials from the Los Angeles Unified School District to enable them get more students to join the military. Secondly, the recruiters had to actively seek out new recruits. The few recruits discussed had to put in a lot of thinking before making the decision to join the military or opt out.
I'm going to suppose that your reference point is the "We Must Free Ourselves" speech given by John Lewis in 1963 at the March on Washington. The simple answer to the question is that Lewis did not think President Kennedy and the federal government had given genuine support to the civil rights movement. Lewis was even forced by the Kennedy administration to edit his speech because the initial draft was so strongly critical of the administration. Let me quote you a section from the draft of the speech that Lewis was pressured to drop before actually giving the speech.
Mr. Kennedy is trying to take the revolution out of the street and put it in the courts. Listen, Mr. Kennedy, listen, Mr. congressman, listen fellow citizens, the black masses are on the march for jobs and freedom, and we must say to the politicians that there won’t be a “cooling-off” period. <span>We won’t stop now.

In the speech which Lewis did give, he pointed criticism at JFK in a less direct way, saying that the party of Kennedy was the also the party of Eastland. James Eastland was a Democratic senator from Mississippi who was staunchly opposed to the civil rights movement.
John Lewis called on black citizens to stand up for their own rights, because the political leaders could not (and some would not) do so for them.
Answer:
Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom. From the 17th to 19th centuries, hundreds of thousands of African slaves came to America against their will. The first colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Many of the people who settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution. The Pilgrims, founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620. In both Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists flourished with some assistance from Native Americans. The French first came to the New World as travelers, seeking a route to the Pacific Ocean and wealth. The Spanish were among the first Europeans to explore the New World and the first to settle in what is now the United States. Like practically all other Africans in North America, they had been caught up in the transatlantic slave trade-a web of international commerce and human suffering that was entangling Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
