Read the excerpt from Jackie Robinson's letter to President Eisenhower. I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people. When you said we must have
self-respect, I wondered how we could have self-respect and remain patient considering the treatment
accorded to us through the years.
Which best explains why Robinson includes this description of African Americans?
O to warn the president that African Americans are tired of waiting and will soon take action
to point out that African Americans have greatly suffered for far too long
O to assure the president that African Americans would continue to wait patiently
O to show that he respects the president and all he has done to help African Americans
