Our mission is at once the oldest and the most basic of this country: to right wrong, to do justice, to serve man. In our time we have come to live with moments of great crisis. Our lives have been marked with debate about great issues; issues of war and peace, issues of prosperity and depression. But rarely in any time does an issue lay bare the secret heart of America itself. Rarely are we met with a challenge, not to our growth or abundance, our welfare or our security, but rather to the values and the purposes and the meaning of our beloved Nation. The issue of equal rights for American Negroes is such an issue. And should we defeat every enemy, should we double our wealth and conquer the stars, and still be unequal to this issue, then we will have failed as a people and as a nation. For with a country as with a person, "What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" On March 15, 1965, President Johnson delivered this speech in response to recent events in Selma; Alabama, where civil rights protestors had been brutally beaten on "Bloody Sunday." Thinking about how police respond to protests after an African American is killed at their hands, has America made progress to right their wrong, to do justice to equally serve citizens? Explain your response. Your answer
