Answer:

America was a segregated society and African Americans were considered, at best, <u>second class citizens.</u> Yet despite that, there were many African American men willing to serve in the nation's military, but even as it became apparent that the United States would enter the war in Europe, <u>blacks were still being turned away from military service.</u> They viewed the conflict as an opportunity to prove their loyalty, patriotism, and worthiness for equal treatment in the United States.

elena-s [515]

The sentence that President Johnson used is: "We are met here tonight as Americans...not as Democrats or as Republicans, we are met here as Americans to solve that problem".

<h3>Special Message to the Congress: The American Promise</h3>

The speech captioned above was delivered on the 15th of March, 1965.

At the beginning of the paragraph, President Lyndon Baines Johnson stated that the problem the country had was not a North or Southern problem, neither was it a racial problem, but an American problem.

One could say that the goal of that speech was to further reduce or eliminate the lines that divided America.
