What is the author's purpose for including the following sentence?

"You suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children."

Answer :

The author's purpose is to make the reader understand feelings towards discrimination against colored people; in this case the character feels sad because it is an impediment to his daughter's wishes; which he really wishes to fulfill.
