Question

In a paragraph of seven to ten sentences, answer the following questions in relation to this passage from John F. Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address: What word does Kennedy seek to redefine in this passage?

Answer 1

Why is it necessary for this word to be redefined to his audience? What long-term cultural change does Kennedy expect to make through the redefining of this word?

"One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.

We preach freedom around the world, and we mean it, and we cherish our freedom here at home, but are we to say to the world, and much more importantly, to each other that this is the land of the free except for the Negroes; that we have no second-class citizens except Negroes; that we have no class or caste system, no ghettoes, no master race except with respect to Negroes?" @saifoo.khan

@Data_LG2

Answer 31

"they cherish their freedom and it's serious to them"
no offense but this is a pretty weak point and not all people has their freedom during that time. You might want to expand your idea further because I don't think Data will do everything for you as what he/she posted above.

Event that happened during JFK's time that is related to the context.

" African Americans throughout much of the South were denied the right to vote, barred from public facilities, subjected to insults and violence, and could not expect justice from the courts. In the North, black Americans also faced discrimination in housing, employment, education, and many other areas."
