Answer:

These sentences convey Johnson’s viewpoint as Johnson believes that when one citizen is affected by inequality, the whole nation is affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea and point of view of Lyndon B. Johnson in the speech "We shall overcome" is a persuasive speech that supports the idea that society must live in equality, everyone should have the same value as a person and be treated the same as any other person, these lines portray that same idea by saying that it is not an individual problem it is a community problem, for all the nation.
