a note from the author. in 1964 african
american civil rights activist fannie lou hamer
gave a speech at the democratic national
convention. she described the discrimination and
violence she and other black people faced. she
was forced to take a difficult literacy test when she
tried to register to vote in 1962. these tests were
designed to keep black people from voting

Explanation:

The text is about Fannie Lou Hamer, an African - American civil rights activist. The note likely serves to introduce the subject (her biography) as it starts with details about her experiences (voting difficulties, discrimination). Options A (help reader learn to register to vote) is too narrow as the text is more about her story. Option B (introduce the subject of the biography) fits as it begins to tell her story. Option C (inform about running for president) is not indicated. Option D (convince to be activists) is not the main initial purpose.

Answer:

B. to introduce the reader to the subject of this biography
