Question

markchernioglo · Answer

He is using a metaphor to describe the struggle of segregation for himself and others. He is accusing the church leaders of not taking action, as they have not felt the pain he is experiencing. He is trying to tell the church leaders that they have not experienced his struggles, so they can't make decisions about what they don't understand.
