Read the passage
We do not answer him-we do not answer those who lie beneath this soil-when we reply to the Negro by asking, "Patience"
What does Johnson claim the negro is asking for, and how do we answer him?
He asks for equal rights, and we refuse to grant them.
He asks for justice, and we tell him to give us more time.
He asks us to remember Gettysburg, and we answer with empty speeches.
He asks for peace, and we tell him it has already been granted.
