In this excerpt from president kennedy's 1963 civil rights address, what is his purpose for pointing out that americans preach freedom around the world? "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? " (5 points) to show that we practice true freedom, unlike any other country to show that we talk about freedom but do not practice it to show that every citizen in our country has freedom to show that this is the land of oppression for every citizen
